No idea why you can not download the program or what Firefox is doing. I'm using latest Firefox (ver. 35.0.1) and had no issues.

I just downloaded it from
http://www.steamidlemaster.com/
and
https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master (Zip file)

With no issues.

@Cryatal Void .. try downloading the zip file from Github. I believe it contains all the files needed to install Idle Master with out trying to get them from the web. But I could be wrong.

Gotcha :)

Hard to tell if someone is joking with text :P

It does not get confused. It knows that you are running more than one game that has cards. It will drop cards for both games at the same time.

They already thought of people doing this and designed it to take you even longer to get cards so people can not run 6 games at once to get the drops faster.

There is zero benefit to running more than one game at a time. It will still take the same amount of time to get all your cards.

Yes.

As far as Steam is concerned you are actually playing the game.

Any eligable game can be idled. If a game has crads it will say so on your badge page. If you have a F2P card that has cards but it is not showing on hte badge page then that game ihas not meet the criteria to allow the cards to be unlocked.

You will only get cards in the F2P game if it is eligable for cards. F2P games with cards usually require in game purchases.

If you Idle a game and play a game with that still has card drops both games should drop cards at the same time.

Idling a game with IM and playing a game is esentially the same thing. Steam does not know that you are using a program to idle.

Keep in mind though that if you have more than one game running to get card drops the drop rates are drastically decreased meaning it takes longer to drop cards. It will basically take you just as long to run two games at the same time to get the cards as it would to run the games back to back. So there is no benefit to running multiple games.

I believe origianally when cards came out you could run multiple games at once and the drop rates where not affected. Steam changed it so it can see multiple games being run and decreases each games drop rates.

OK .. but if it makes you feel any better no one has as far as I know been banned while using Idlemaster. You are not the first person and not going to be the last who has run Idlemaster and a VAC game at the same time.

That's not to say it can not happen though :)

Idle Master is not a cheat program so for it to flag you account for review seems unlikely. Someone would most likely have been banned by now if it could happen.

To me it be like banning someone cause they, for whatever reasons, loaded up two VAC games at the same time.

I'm sure you will be OK.

I'm not sure how VAC bans work but I think they happen once you cause the infraction. I don't think they happen later for something you did in the past.

But I could be wrong. Maybe someone can clarify it more.
