@ra_sriniketan:This is actually a problem with mediafire.I hope your browser is firefox.If not goto the download page through firefox.Now instead of right clicking on the link and selecting download with IDM ,left click on the 'Click here to start download from MediaFire..' link.If mediafire have really generated a valid download link IDM will start downloading else the page will auto reload.Keep left clicking till you get IDM to download the file.Usually it takes 2 left clicks for mediafire links to work.But sometimes mediafire generates the link instantly.
If the doesn't start even after many clicks empty cache and cookies and retry.

this happens when u try to download from sites which doesn't support download managers....so the files r usually downloaded with .htm extension & also in kB sizes....
But mediafire supports download managers...
try using another downloader such as orbit or IDA

Solved. Actually its the caching problem of the browsers.Just using another browser for that particular file solved the problem.
