5 Features that Make jDownloader the Best Windows Downloader
YouTube is a popular platform for online videos, but many download managers fail to download from it effectively. However, there is one standout download manager that excels in this area: jDownloader. jDownloader is a smart and efficient download manager that is free, open source, and compatible with multiple platforms. It is considered one of the most intelligent downloaders available. To fully experience its capabilities, it is recommended to download jDownloader and ensure that you have the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (jre/jdk) installed.
Things that Make jDownloader Intelligent and Probably, the Best Windows Downloaded
Here are some jDownloader features that struck a chord with me. Check them out and tell us if they lead you to dump your current download manager.
1. Bypass Ad URLs
You can bypass adfly or any other ad links with jDownloader. When you add links, the tool automatically redirects them to the download page and gives you the final download page in the link grabber section. It also checks if the file is available online or if it has been taken down from the servers. Once you receive an online confirmation, you can proceed with the download.
2. YouTube Video Downloader
When you add a YouTube video link to jDownloader, it displays all available formats for download. You can choose to download the video in FLV or MP4 format, or just the audio track in MP3 format.
jDownloader is a top download manager for online file hosting services like Hotfiles and MediaFire. For free users, simply provide the page link. The downloader will detect the host and prompt you to accept the TOS. If captcha authentication is required, jDownloader will provide it within the program itself.
Add your files to the queue and let the downloader take over. Premium users can enter their login credentials in Premium->Premium Settings, allowing jDownloader to log in and download files as a premium user.
4. Add Links in Batch
When downloading large files that are split into parts, you can add all the links at once. Simply paste the links in the ‘Add links’ section or import them using a text file in jDownloader.
5. Automatically Join and Uncompress files
If you download large files, such as movies or games split into parts, using file-splitters or WINRAR, the tool will extract and merge the files once all parts are downloaded.
Conclusion
Try out jDownloader next time you plan to download a file. Although it’s designed for downloading files from online hosting services, you can use it as your default download manager for any online files. Share your views in the comments section.
