I'm having the same issue. Downloading attachments from gmail results in the "fetching..." dialog that never goes any further. I've seen a few other threads with similar issues, but no real solution. A DL manager is a workaround but not a solution. I tried an app called" Save My Attach" with no luck. Maybe I will try the IDM, and report back shortly.
