Site Support request for v.douyu.com

• Single video: https://v.douyu.com/show/rjNBdvnVXNzvE2yw
  I am told that the video is separated into 10sec clip which makes the download process very hard, therefore in order to download from this website, one has to download a playlist and then merge the files together. Does the website behaves like this and is it possible to add support to this site in terms of coding?

Question
I have Internet Download Manager, however I noticed a strange behaviour is that, I am able to obtain and download the full video as a single file if I opened the link with Internet Explorer. While if the links are opened in other browser like Chrome, Firefox, the links obtained will return a "Some sites do not allow requesting the same file twice error" which means totally not able to download. Why does it work on IE and not Chrome?
