1. Download and install both.
2. Launch TOR browser and after establishing the connection and opening the Tor browser's window, drag the add-on file "idmmzcc3.xpi" (inside the IDM's installed folder) to TOR and agree to install it. Till here, they have been integrated with each other.
3. The last step is opening IDM's "Options" from the "Downloads" menu and clicking on the "Proxy / Socks" tab. From here, select "Manual proxy/socks configuration" and click on the "Advanced / Socks ..." button. Then select "Use socks" and enter:

Socks server address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9150​

Then select Socks 5, click OK and OK.​

From now on when you open your TOR browser, you can download your files with IDM. For completing your downloads, you must let TOR be open. If you close TOR, connection with the TOR's network will be lost and IDM will stop.

Why use ToR if you are going to be using add ons? Using add-ons defeats the whole purpose of using TOR.

You're right but not for this case.

By assigning that address and port, IDM will use TOR's network for downloading, not direct connections to the sites, so your identity will be anonymous.

I forgot to point that for normal downloads with IDM, "No proxy/socks" must be selected.

 

This seems cool, but TOR using black internet (or whatever is called) is slow, isn't it? Precisely because of the serverless/anonimity thing.

 

unless you are seeking illegal products to purchase why use TOR

 

Very slow

 

TOR can and is used by many for things other than seeking illegal products. As the TOR Project explains:

deepweb is bigger than clearnet...in deepweb is the blackweb aehh darkweb

 

besides what Pirate pointed out.. TOR is not for that! it actually has a real sense to it. some people really need this to spread info out of their country or get info into, or/and keep their lifes save.. please don´t destroy this by such a ..... ...

also.. with IDM similar issues can occur like these explained here...

Its speed changes during the day. In some hours very slow but sometimes very fast. I think mostly depends on the traffic of your own ISP or country not much the TOR's network.
