JDownloader - File-hosting-site orientated download manager

Kohaku's picture

I love this application. If ever you want to download say, a group of files from rapidshare, then you know how troublesome it can be as the site constantly demands your attention and your time. This completely free and open source program eliminates the problem by automatically taking over these downloads and going through whatever list you give it itself.

It supports a plethora of hosting sites; most of which I haven't even heard of, and can also be merged with accounts on these sites should you have any. But even (and perhaps especially) if you don't, JDownloader just rocks.

Description from the website:

JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don't pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many "link encryption" sites are supported - so you just paste the "encrypted" links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.
