A useful application that simplifies the process of downloading files from One-Click-Hosters not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don't pay

There are many reasons for using the Internet, and one of them is for downloading movies, software or games for enjoying them on the computer. While modern browsers typically come equipped with dedicated download tools embedded precisely for these purposes, a third-party application might help make the most of one's Internet connection, and speed up the downloads. Such a tool is JDownloader.

A fast and practical download solution

One needs to make sure they already have Java installed onto their PCs in order to run this app. If this prerequisite is not detected, the application offers to automatically download and install it.

The two main targets of JDownloader is to boost the speed of your downloads and to reduce the time it gets to start the download, i.e. locate the link and enter the captcha/password. This program is especially useful if you are accustomed to grab packages stored on file hosting servers which have a delay until the download actually begins.

Configure settings to suit your needs

The main window of the software allows you to get an overview of all the queued links and to select the ones you want to launch. Alternatively, you can set JDownloader to automatically start downloading when you add a new item to the list.

The Settings tab of JDownloader is the place where you can specify the output folder that hosts the downloaded packages, along with the maximum number of simultaneous links. In terms of visual customization, you can enable or disable the buttons displayed within the main window's toolbar and the theme.

JDownloader permits you to configure its options so as to restart a downloading process after a predefined timeout period or to renew the IP (resets and restarts the connection).

In conclusion

To wrap it up, this application is a valuable help to all those who often rely on web hosting sites to get their downloads, and who might even have Premium accounts on these sites. It lets you quickly get acquainted with all of its features due to the friendly interface, as well as offering pop-up tips for enhanced aid.

JDownloader is a download manager written in Java. JDownloader can download normal files, but also files from online file hosting services like MEGA.nz.

Installation

Install jdownloader2AUR from the AUR.

For running JDownloader you need Java installed. OpenJDK is recommended, it works flawlessly with jDownloader.

Running

Use the command jdownloader to start JDownloader. When you just installed JDownloader from AUR, this will run the update tool to download some required files for JDownloader, else this will start JDownloader directly.

Configuration

When you first start JDownloader you can choose your preferred language and also your download directory. On the next window, JDownloader asks you if you want to install FlashGot, a Firefox extension. I recommend clicking on Cancel. If you want this extension, you can still download it through the official mozilla addons website.

If you enable the Light(GTK) theme and the fonts appear to lack anti-aliasing, modify ~/.bashrc as appropriate following the directions here.

Tips and tricks

Downloading files without creating a subdirectory

By default jdownloader will create a subdirectory for each file you download in your destination folder. To stop this behaviour go to Settings > Packagiser and untick the predefined rules as desired.

Changing preferences for individual sites

Preferences for individual sites can be found by going to Settings > Plugins. For example, by changing settings on the youtube.com plugin you could tell jdownloader to only download the audio from youtube links.

Changing font scale

If font is too small, it can be enlarged by increasing scale factor: settings > advanced settings > LAFSettings.fontscalefactorjd forum.

Cleaning up the UI

Speed

The graphical user interface can be adjusted to a bigger extent:

  • Flashing of the update button can be disabled: change GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings: Update Button Flashing in the advanced preferences.
  • The banner at the top can be disabled by changing GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings: Banner.
  • Some warning icons can be removed when looking for Premium Alert.
  • The Donate Tab can be disabled by setting GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings: Donate Button State to Hidden (User Mode).
  • Entries in the menu can be changed when visiting Settings -> User Interface -> Main Menu, same goes for the Right Click Menu

Troubleshooting

Application not resizing with WM, menus immediately closing

see Java#Gray window, applications not resizing with WM, menus immediately closing

Using the System Tray Icon

Minimize to tray is broken on Linux. You will run in problems like a little stray window appearing. Disable the feature altogether just to not accidentally run into it. For that, just unplug the checkbox in the settings.

To use the tray, applications which put JDownloader into the tray can be used, namely kdockerAUR or alltray.

Both of them have a launcher, which would send an active application into the tray. The other way to start use them is to launch JDownloader (or any other programm) like that:

or

To use the command, you could:

Http://jdownloader.org

  • copy the desktop file to /usr/local/share/applications/… and edit it.
  • copy the desktop file to ~/config/autostart/… and edit it.
  • or create /usr/local/bin/JDownloader

It should be noted though, that when the application restarts, which JDownloader does to install updates, it won't be managed anymore by kdocker / alltray.
