Super Official wroteIf anyone is interested, IDM finally allows to turn off interleaving it seems. Got it sorted out today and my ping reduced by 25ms across the board. Might be worth a shot to improve latency for some.
Thats neat. How do I request it? Do I just call them and ask them to turn interleaving off? And are there any drawbacks to it?
I just emailed them asking to consider turning it off. They called me back yesterday and told me it can be done as I am on the GDS network and that they'll send a request. They got it done quickly and had it turned off this morning. I noticed that my SNR margin dropped by around 0.8 which I don't mind because I already am locked at 4mbps because I have the unlimited plan. No packet loss or disconnections so far. Latency in rainbow six for example dropped from 95ms to 65ms.
It's worth taking a shot at it especially if your connection is already stable.
I just called IDM and they told me that that option is not available and that only Ogero does that in there 'gaming mode'.
yourlocalfbiagent wroteno, from my experience, its truly unlimited during the specified time period
By unlimited evening, you mean from 7pm to 7am right?

You just made my day
I requested yesterday from idm to turn off interleaving for me, they did it the same day. The ping speed to idm servers decreased from 33ms to 19ms.
About the unlimited evening, I didn't know that it includes also non-streaming apps. Great news for us.

It is worth it.
My speed increased from 14 to 25, upload from 1 to 7 Mbps (the upload alone is worth it)

For anyone having connectivity issues with IDM,they currently have an outage for maintenance that started around half an hour ago and is unknown when will internet come back online

In the unlimited evening (7pm-7am), is there a fup? And if there is, is it bad or do we have a good amount of data before it activates? About how much?

No there’s no FUP.

I’ve downloaded more than double my monthly limit during unlimited hours and speed was stable.

No it was the same. I still get between 85 and 90 ms while pinging bbc.co.uk for example (same as with adsl)
