I am trying to download the .dmg
extension file with Internet Download Manager (v. 6.07) on windows 7.
At the time I start the download, the extension is .dmg
but after getting download it changes to .bz2
.
Usually, I am facing this problem with larger files otherwise smaller files get downloaded correctly.

I had this same issue several times before. I use chrome and IDM. IDM won't pick some type of files to download.– Tomin JacobOct 21, 2014 at 9:16

After all of this year, somehow this issue still persists to this day. I have installed IDM (latest version 6.38) on my Windows computer and it is not picking the .dmg
files in the first place
To solve it...
- Make sure the IDM extension is properly installed in your browser.
- Select the
.dmg
file using your mouse pointer, "Download with IDM" option will appear, just click on that.
(In case, "Download with IDM" option is not appearing, follow the Step 3)
- Open IDM -> Click on the "Add URL" button -> Copy and paste the website address to IDM URL bar -> Put a forward slash ( / ) after that -> Again copy the file name and put it after that slash -> Hit the "OK" button
