Its a pain to download Yahoo Messenger Via the installer in case you get disconnected from the internet as there is no “resume support”. So all you can do is restart the installer again which again downloads the whole thing. Untill Now!

This cool trick which allows you to download the yahoo messenger exe directly skipping the boring installer. All you need to do is add a “Y”

For example -

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr8/us/msgr8us.exe

Then add a ‘y’ before the exe name. So, now it’ll look like -

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr8/us/ymsgr8us.exe

Now you can use this link with any Download Managers and see the resume support also

In case you want to download Yahoo Messenger Version 9 , use this

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/us/ymsgr9us.exe

You need to make msgr8 to msgr9 and msgr8us to ymsgr9us
