Use Freerapid downloader instead.

"I've used it for a long time."
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
> Frequently updated by developers and automatically downloads updates while running.
> Works with almost every "file hosting" service I've found, including sites with subscriptions.
> Works with some other sites (i.e. bandcamp, soundcloud)
> Extensive user options and features, I'll list a few:
> Download speed limit
> Max simultaneous downloads
> Automatic archive extraction
> Automatic clipboard parsing
> OthersCons
> Some plugins may not work or may have bugs (i.e. youtube)
> It's Java.
> High memory usageSummary
I've used this program for a few years now and it's a lot better than any other download manager I've tried. It's really nice if you want to download a lot of things from sites with waiting times or just want to continue a list of downloads while you're away/busy and don't feel like concerning yourself with them.

"contains malware!!!"
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
Was once a great downloader but now (see below)
Cons
For the last two months JD contains very bad malware "SweetIm", which installs itself regardless of user preference. Just check the JD messageboards and be disgusted by their response.

"It can but can't"
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
1 click downloader that works with hosting sites most of the time, at least until the site changes.
Cons
Many. Besides being java based there is a problem with the UI. The graphics & how used definitely does not work with all video drivers. They realize this problem over 4 years (or more) and said they were going to fix. At the time (and still) they offer an alternative executable to replace Jdownloader.exe. It's titled JdownloaderD3D.exe. You can delete the original Jdownloader.exe.
The problem with the original exe is that it just freezes your system depending on your graphics card and drivers. Substituting exe's fixes the problem, it does... Until program updates get streamed to you. While updating it adds the original exe and runs it causing systems to freeze again.
A freeze is as bad, if not worse then not letting a windows machine shut down. It's like pulling the plug, period.Summary
In case nobody notices, their actual executable is the same as it was ages ago, the version is truly the same. It's old and seriously flawed, they know it, created an extra exe as a fix which get's defeated the MOMENT the program updates itself.
Their updating idea is superb. Their initial programming sucks because of it's not being compatible with some of the most common graphic subsystems. Is it the use of java? My system is java perfect. (Liking java is another issue.)
like many of you I build my system from the ground up. I do a lot with a pc, but I also game hard as do many of you. So to say that many have systems similar to mine will have problems with Jdownloader.
Hey, they built the alternative exe, so nothing I said here is an opinion or construed by me. Maybe their programmer died. A damn shame cause they have the right idea like no other I have seen.

"Flat-out didn't work with Chrome."
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
None for me.
Cons
Took forever to install.
Summary
I followed the step-by-step instructions posted online. Zilch.

"Hate it because its Java based..."
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
Fast, small, integrates well into environment.
Cons
Crashes often, it's look for a specific JRE - which is why Java sucks.
Summary
Get a real Window binary file, written and compiled to run by itself, not JIT - JIT is a bad idea... If you don't know what JIT is, don't reply on my comment.

"Just don't do eveything, it claims"
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
Installed this on several computers, I either don't know what i am doing or it don't know what it is supposed to do.
Cons
Big download, with little results. Does not capture or grab anything as far as I can tell. Cut and pasted URl like it says, and nothing happens.
Summary
Either its junk, or i don't know how to use it.

"The best downloader for one click hosters!"

Cons
I'm not sure what cons there are.

"Best download manager"
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
Handles a LOT of the manual work for you, which saves a lot of time. You only have to copy links and JDownloader does the rest. Easy and convenient. Videos, Pictures, large archives - you name it. It downloads EVERYTHING.
Fast as hell.
Does not crash and always works reliably.
It reconnects your router, so you don't have to wait those looooong waiting times.Cons
Nothing much, really. Works great as-is.
Summary
I have used other download managers before, but stuck with JDownloader because it's better than the rest, and always up-to-date. It's free, open-source and just works.

"AWESOMENESS!"
Version: JDownloader 0.9581
Pros
I've been using this tool for years now..
It's simply the best download manager out there.
Downloads videos/music/photos in your favorite format
Always up-to-date
Working with practically every site you can download stuff from.
Downloads resumable
Incredibly fast downloads
No waiting times
No Captchas
Does support premium accounts if you have them.Cons
No built-in torrent client, but I rarely use torrents anymore.
Recaptcha doesn't always workSummary
I love this tool, and it's pretty much always the first things I intall an a new machine. I definitely recommend it! You only copy the link(s) of a website, and it automatically downloads all the stuff you want from it.
Have fun! :)
