In this application, I use an open-source native-client written based on NodeJS. This is the only reliable method to communicate with an external executable.

Note that on the first run, you will be asked to install a native client. You can add or remove file-types from the options page as well. If for any reason you prefer your browser to handle this type of files, use the "Add to the exception list" in this page to permanently exclude them from being sent to IDM. If the file-size and multi-threading status are met with user-defined configurations then the downloading job will be sent to the IDM executable and your browser will display a new page containing the download information such as its content-type or file-size. When the network observer is enabled, the extension listens for all top-level requests that are not in text or HTML format. The current status of the network observer can be viewed by placing your mouse over the toolbar button. Press it once to enable the network observer and the second time to disable it. When the extension is installed, you will get a toolbar icon. If you prefer this one over the official one, I would recommend disabling that extension from the extension manager of your browser. Note that IDM offers an official integrator which is too aggressive in my opinion. This extension is configured to integrate your browser with the well-known IDM download manager. What is "Download by Internet Download Manager" extension and how does it work? Detects the downloading jobs even if there is no direct link (when is enabled from the toolbar area).Integration is configurable from the options page.Send downloading jobs to an external download manager when conditions are satisfied.
When it is enabled, the minimum possible observer is placed on your network to capture jobs and evaluate them to decide whether the job is meant to be handled by your browser or by the external download manager. When it is disabled, there is no resource usage at all. Also, note that this extension is very lightweight compared to the default integrators. Unlike the default integrators which are usually too aggressive, this integrator works only when the conditions are fully met hence you will get fewer false-positive calls when the external integration is not welcomed. If all these conditions met and the extension is enabled from the toolbar button (place your mouse over the toolbar button to see the current enable or disable status), then the downloading job is sent to the external download manager. You can define file-size, file-type, and whether the download server supports multi-threading or not in the options page. "Download By an External Download Manager" provides a configurable external download manager integration.
