Jdownloader Alternative, Please Help!

**righteous1** · 12-15-11 at 08:49 AM

I recently purchased a new laptop with windows 7 64 bit. My old one had 64 bit vista and I never had any problems with jdownloader. However, the program installs but just wont run. I have attempted installations of 32 and 64 bit versions of java and jdownloader, all to the same effect. I usually never go on forums to ask questions, but after doing extensive research and trying multiple options, I think a different program might be the best solution. And I'm coming here because this where I first learned about jdownloader and the wild world of dlc. Maybe cryptload, it seems to be a good alternative, or mipony? Though I have to say that is a sorry name sounds like a game for the ds for little girls... But I would appreciate some feedback to help decide because I totally loved jdownloader, and I don't feel like messing around with other programs just yet. thanks.

All I know is that jd on win7 64 bit works fine.

And I suspect that there is nothing that compares to the features of jd, but that is a guess.

There is no decent replacement that I've seen. Best bet is to get to work on your laptop. It should work perfectly fine on 64 bit OS.

Try IDM (Internet Download Manager).

ok does IDM work with premium hosts?

IDM is the best solution and of course works fine with premium hosts.

Works fine for me, but I installed it as an 'x86' program.

Does IDM now allow you to put links in and do then one after the other automatically like Jdownloader ? Main reason I stop using it.

I use Jdownloader, is JAVA so is a lot of crap!!, unmanaged by Windows and incredible unstable and memory consuming. But I use it.
My Pony Is the closer approach to JD properly programed (not Java BS), but is incredible slow with premium accounts and the number of connections and simultaneous download have a little options.
I really want to use and like IDM, but the mayor problem with IDM is that a lot of valid link are interpreted by IDM as a "webpage", not a download link.
I really appreciate if anyone can tell me how to make IDM to correctly identify the links I select for example in tehparadox and download the files and not to interpret this links as "webpages".

Ditto.

OP, have you tried a utility such as revo uninstaller to remove all the remnants java and jdownloader could have left over? That way you can ensure a fresh install.
