jDownloader is an open source download manager, written in Java, which allows the download of files and split files from one-click hosting sites such as Rapidshare and Megaupload automatically. The user specified download links are split into packages to enable individual pausing and continuing of downloads. Split RAR-Archives are unpacked automatically after download. [1]
For some applications like .DLC link container decryption jDownloader is relying on security through obscurity[2] and contrary to the license some source files are not publicly available. The developers stated that the license may change — the program will remain open source, but will get a license, which allows closed source parts[3].
[edit] Features
jDownloader supports the Rapidshare "waiting time" and captcha recognition, enabling batch downloads without user input.[4] Premium users of one-click-host sites have the added advantage of using multiple connections per downloaded file, which accelerates the download in most cases. Software updates and minor patches are released frequently, and by default jDownloader will update itself upon initialization. Supported languages include English, French, German, Czech, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish
