This is a special post because this is my favorite tool on linux : ) Do you ever need a download manager which will automatically download from file hosting sites?Are you bored dealing with rar passwords, splitted files, and opening new folders everytime you download something?This is the ultimate solution, Jdownloader!Before starting, be sure you have installed Sun's java.You can install it via :
You can change your default java via :
Ok, now let's download Jdownloader, download it via :
After download let's make it executable and run it :
Now do not close any windows and let the jdownloader download required files.Jdownloader will restart itself after it is done and you will see Language and Download directory options.Select which you prefer and it will search and download for updates if any.Now we will tweak Jdownloader a little :
Now go to Extras > Configuration (or hit F11) and select Advanced Configuration.
At Main Tab : Select Logging Level OFF , Untick Open Changelog after update
At Download & Network Tab : Tick Create sub-folder including package name if you want jdownloader to create directory with package name under Download directory (i suggest doing this), Under Download Control tab, increase max simultaneous downloads to anything you want (i am using 20) and increase max retries to 20 or 99.Increase maximum chunks per download to 10 (10 jobs/connections per download).
At Interface Tab : You can select a theme (you have to download theme addon first under Addon Manager), enable/disable sounds, change style or enable/disable speedmeter graph , disable/enable splash screen, browser settings etc.
At Addon Manager Tab : You can enable/disable addons.I do not suggest installing tray icon addons which are buggy a little.Be sure JD-HJmerge and JD-Unrar enabled.
Now close Settings window and go to Addons > JD-Unrar > Settings
Tick overwrite exisiting file, delete archives after successful extraction, delete info file after extraction
Close it and we are ready to go.
If you close Jdownloader, you can run it via ./jd.sh (be sure you are in the directory which contains jd.sh, or you can add a shortcut to run jd.sh to your Desktop)
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-pluginYou can change your default java via :
$sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sunOk, now let's download Jdownloader, download it via :
$wget -c http://212.117.163.148/jd.shAfter download let's make it executable and run it :
$chmod +x jd.sh$./jd.shNow do not close any windows and let the jdownloader download required files.Jdownloader will restart itself after it is done and you will see Language and Download directory options.Select which you prefer and it will search and download for updates if any.Now we will tweak Jdownloader a little :

I've got a problem here. jDownloader takes a lot of time to start if firewall is up. Already searched in JD site and java.sun.com and no idea about what to do.
@Bremm
Did you disable auto update at startup?Also try to disable all modules.
Go to the official site and join the chat.The developers are usually there and fix the problems very fast.
JDownloader is a very appreciated program as it improves the download speed dramatically.

Sorry because I'm late. I found what's wrong long time ago, and it's related to iptables.
# ip6tables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
Did the trick. :-)
Thank you for this. Took me a moment to figure it out till I spotted that I hadn't added sudo to the beginning and my terminal didn't trust me. :-P
