JDownloader Tips & Tricks
On many pages on this fine site, you'll fine loads of links to great photosets, films, et cetera. And you want to download them all.
How to do it? You could click each link-- that'll work, but there's a faster way. JDownloader parses material placed on the clipboard, and adds any links that it finds to the download queue. So just start JDownloader (and make sure the "watch clipboard for links" option is on) and select all on the page you're interested in, and Copy . .. JDownloader will sort through the mess of pasted text and parse the links. One note: sometimes, the link may be abbreviated on the presented webpage, eg, it may be presented as: Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/20420272...___YG__leo.rar Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/204202722/SomethingSomethingt__FG___YG__leo.rar Easy trick: use "view page source" (Option-U in Firefox). This gives you a webpage with all the source for the page, including the links, which are suppressed in the "normal" view". Just select all in the "source" view, and copy, and all links on the page will end up in your Jdownloader queue, even those abbreviated/truncated on the page. |
An addendum to the below
Be sure to copy any passwords on the page. Its a real bugger trying to find them later. |

Trick for finding a password to a Rar'd file that turns out to be encrypted: do a Google search on the filename & "pass" eg enter "LuciousBouncingBosoms.rar" pass ("pass" isn't usually necessary, but it can help). This will usually find you a source for the file (most sites are searchable by Google). Every so often, folks "code" their links, or embed them in those miserable encrypted download "containers" -- this method won't help with those, but they're pretty uncommon. I'd be happy to share my un-rar password list, which has all the Un-rar passwords I've encountered on this site (and a few others). Doesn't seem like that would be a breach of anyone's confidence, but maybe a Mod could weigh in on whether or not that's OK. http://img247.imagevenue.com/loc443/..._122_443lo.jpg |

or - if you have firefox, install flashgot, connect this plugin with jdownloader and you can directly chose a single link or even a selection of multiple links to transport them into the linkgrabber section of jdownloader. @deepsepia: i hope you want to post some more here - actually your thread isn't a guide or a tutorial to a software. if you want to offer single hints, you can do this in "Useful Software Discussion" thread, or - if you just want to recommend a tool, please use "Useful Software" thread next time (jdownloader was already recommended multiple times) |

Also: is it permissable to share un-Rar password lists? |

No permission to write to hard disk - error message
I will add some more tips when I have time, but one that I just learned yesterday that I'd like to share:
With certain file hosts (oron, for example) I would get a file partially downloaded, then it would stop permanently with an error message: "No permission to write to hard disk". If I "reset" the file (right click and choose "reset", which deletes the partial file and starts over from beginning) it would often have the same result: partial download and same error message, plus there was a long wait time between downloads. BTW, if you have a dynamic IP, you can avoid the wait time between downloads by setting "reconnect" properly. I have a static IP, so I don't have that option. I found the fix at the jdownloader.org forum (there are other fixes listed, but the first one on the list worked for me): Change "Max. Con." (max connections) at lower right to 1. You can still download more than one file at a time, but the max connections per file is set to 1. Apparently this made the difference, because I no longer have a problem with files not completing and I don't get the "No permissions to write to hard disk" error any more. If you have other questions/issues with JD, I highly recommend the forum: Code:

One thing I've noticed is that if you've got a Mac, and you're using an external drive, JDownloader is very prone to this error. My theory is that external drives go into sleep mode, and JDownloader doesn't know what to do with it and just times out trying to write-- but I've been told that that's wrong. So I dunno. The problem happens less on the PC than on the Mac, and less often with internal drives than external, that's all I've been able to figure out. |
Be sure to update your Jdownloader as rapidshare links are downloading at full speed when the update is in place. ;)

Another bit of advice/tip: you can pipe links from a page to Jdownloader from a number of Firefox plugs. For example, Flashgot lets you use Jdownloader to run your downloads-- there are a bunch of reasons you might want to do this-- Flashgot will let you specify what you want from a page with great precision, but will attempt to download them all simultaneously-- JDownloader lets you stick them all in a container, automatically unRar using a password, and so on. http://img175.imagevenue.com/loc228/..._123_228lo.jpg |
