I just delete the s in the address bar of the browser. But maybe your backspace and delete key are broken?

No, I don't understand. Why do you want idm to download using http: if the site you want to download from uses https: ?

And since IDM is a separate program, any Firefox or Chrome add-on (if it exists) doesn't work for what you want (whatever that is).

you can't convert https to http because the destination party is always allow https only and block http for secure

Why I ask for more is that we know that EasyTether has a free version that only allows HTTP. So a request like this may be because of another issue but I'm just guessing. Care to share why https isn't an option?
