A visitor was asking me a while ago if there were really download managers for websites like Rapidshare and I simply told him at that time that they would exist. JDownloader is a Rapidshare Download Manager that comes with a lot of functions to make downloading files from Rapidshare and dozens other file hosting websites a breeze.
The download manager has several benefits over manually downloading files from Rapidshare. The first is that you can simply add as many download links to it which will all be stored and processed one after the other. The image verification is filled in automatically by JDownloader which means that you can keep it running in the background all the time without having to actively manage the downloads.
Download links can be automatically added by making Jdownloader observe the clipboard. It offers a reconnect feature which has to be configured, an unpacker, a password list, selecting a favored server from each hoster and much more. There are several options that need some explanation though before you can start using it.

You should first realize that JDownloader needs Java, so make sure that is installed. After unpacking the application you need to execute the file JDownloader.jar to start the installation where you select a download location for the files. Files will be automatically updated during the setup as well.
Before you start to begin downloading files you need to accept the Terms of Service for all file hosters that you want to download from. Open the options, click on Hosts in there and check the TOS of the file hosters.
The language can be set to German and English but even if you select English it looks like a mix of German and English. Not to hard to figure out stuff because the most important elements are well translated.

“I recommend Firefox instead of Internet Explorer for faster surfing and increased security.
Firefox is free and considered by experts to be the best browser available.” HAH!
” BULLCRAP! Firefox is NOT faster or more secure and Active X is REQUIRED to run a lot of sites. Firefox SUCKS!

Did a review on all Rapidshare downloaders I got my hands on. The current JDownloader must be the best one.

This is hands down the best free rapidshare donwnloader out there. It supports premium accounts, and even if you don’t have one it works great. It can automatically reset your ip if it detects that rapidshare capped after a large download, thus eliminating any waits. Can’t describe just how convenient this thing is.
Simply put, if you use rapidshare, GET THIS IT’S FREE!
thanks
sssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Useful for me… Required a lot
Works great. I love it. Downloading off rapidshare is so much easier now. God i love this program :)
Fuckinhell…, I changed 3 or 4 sites to be able to download that soft. WTF?
Is it that hard to put simple download link on web page these days?
