So how do you copy the actual links, not the abbreviations that appear on the webpage?

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.
not necessary, context menu of most browsers offer "copy target url". just right click the shortcutted link and chose this option. then activate jdownloader window and it's in. if you don't have this option, simply quote the post which contains such a link (just clicking quote doesn't add a new post) and select the complete link from the quote. view source works too, sure, but it's much harder to find the exact link between all the html if you have no knowledge about it.

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)
