Download with JDownloader

Integrates the browser with JDownloader either by interrupting the built-in download manager or from right-click context menu

Download with JDownloader Extension

Integrate your browser with JDownloader for efficient downloading! This extension allows you to manage downloads in two ways: 1) Send download jobs directly from the right-click context menu, and 2) Interrupt the built-in download manager to route requests to JDownloader. While the interruption mode is off by default, simply click the action button in your toolbar to activate it.

To connect the extension with JDownloader, you need the native client installed, which can be easily set up with the provided instructions. This extension functions optimally with JDownloader running, although the native client is necessary only when the local server is not available. New features in the latest versions include link downloading and better tab handling. Get ready for seamless downloading today!

JDを使用しないダウンロードができなくなるバグが発生していました 再インストールをすると直ったので心当たりがある人は一度これを削除した後にもう一回入れてみると良いかもしれないです

Does not respond to HLS or m3u8 streams which IDM and other downloaders, even simple extensions do without any hassle. The interface is intolerably ugggly, the software itself comes bundled with malware. Despite all this they have the audacity to ask for donations when uninstalling! This useless junk shouldn't even exist for the sake of humanity!

To all of the people complaining about how this is complicated...clearly you have not used JDownloader. The only reason to use this is for JDownloader. If you don't need the functionality of JDownloader, I highly recommend you use something else. If you don't know if you need the functionality of JDownloader, you probably don't. Here is how I use it: I can copy a link URL to a site that contains a list of links to other (paid) download sites with the file (mediafire, rapidupload, etc). I have JDownloader configured with credentials to my debrid service. This service gives me access to ~20 paid download sites (this is configured in JDownloader). When I paste a link, JDownloader will crawl that page, extract any download links on subpages, and only add the urls for the services I have access to. If you think this extension is complicated, you aren't ready for JDownloader. Try something like Downie.
