JDownloader

The most complete download manager

Although many direct download services like the famous Megaupload or Hotfile disappeared some time ago, and despite the fact that web browsers are gradually incorporating better systems to manage direct downloads, that doesn't mean that programs to manage the process of downloading files from the Internet aren't useful anymore. Among the most popular ones, we can download JDownloader for PC, one of the most useful, comfortable and user-friendly programs of this nature.

An all terrain download manager

Ever since version 1, the latter has become of the favorite programs for all users, mainly due to the fact that it's an open-source program maintained by a huge user community. Precisely this condition has led to the implementation of many of the functions demanded by its user base, meeting any of our needs when it comes to downloading files to the Internet.
