How recover an incomplete download if FDM Database was deleted ?

Postby aug » Sat Mar 28, 2020 8:07 am

Thanks for read my topic ?
I had paused an download and closed FDM.
Unhappily because an system crash was deleted the FDM download database.
The paused download file was removed from download list.

The file where is all download is fdm.sqlite ?
How to add manually the incomplete download file ?
I had used an tool to read sqlite files, but i not see any value about size percentage paused.
The download file is 5.044 MB and was downloaded 2.929 MB.

What is an easy option to fix it ?
Thanks very much for reply.

Hello,
In case it is NOT a torrent download, there is no way to resume it without database (fdm.sqlite).
What is your FDM's version? FDM5? Try to check db_backup folder in "%localappdata%\Free Download Manager" (in case your OS is Windows). It should contain fdm.sqlite backup file.

Hello Alex.
Thanks very much for your reply.
I use FDM since before 2010.

The file is not an torrent.
The file is an simple file.
I use FDM latest version and all files in FDM program data "%localappdata%\Free Download Manager" was deleted.
Where is the information of percentage in GB of downloaded file ? In FDM data files or in own download file ?

Have an nice day.
