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

when the actual link is

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/204202722/SomethingSomethingt__FG___YG__leo.rar

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.
