It also says “free of installer bundles” while (at least in past, don’t know about now) their default windows installer was including ads (source)
P.S.: If you want to disable the in-app ads, here’s how to: https://gist.github.com/yunooooo/87564a0293a1c7a53fb3e233a604c638
I wrote a blog post about how to remove the ads and enable dark mode for JDownloder2 here.
You can also get it to use your KDE theme if that is more your thing
Edit: gtk theme, not kde
How?
I was mistaken and said KDE rather than GTK theme but you just need to add this add an environment variable before the operator on the desktop shortcut file and it should work
_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.crossplatformlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel ${_JAVA_OPTIONS}"
Thanks I just did that right now. It’s so nice having the Ad banners gone, and also a nice and well functioning dark mode too.
Same shit different software. I’m still using that turd Filezilla because literally no other FTP software I’ve tried has worked with the server run by WiiU homebrew.
Jdownloader2.
Everyone has that one asshole friend. He’s ours.
Recently set up pyload, it‘s good for what it does. Or are there any pitfalls I don‘t know yet? :)
Why not use free download manager instead?
Does that one have something like Click’nLoad and a Browser add-on or app to allow for it when the Downloader is running on a remote machine? Can it run on my server and be accessed through a browser or said app?
Does it handle various hosters including debrid?
Try Brave.
Well, they are still the most versatile download tool in existence… And not like you guys are downloading legal stuff with that
Yup.
The annoyance from dealing with those crappy file hosters alone is enough to send them a couple bucks.
Is there still no open source replacement?
oh there are plenty such. kget, aria2, uget, and motrix off the top of my head. but people use jdownloader for the same reason they use windows – it’s what they know.
More like JDownloader supports almost every download host website in existence without any hoops. Most other applications just support standard http downloads which may be difficult to use with many websites.
