It comes bundled with viruses

The software came bundled with some viruses, it took forever to install, and it also installed some additional antivirus software which I didn't agree for. The actual downloading did not work, the ETC kept decreasing, but the download speed was 0. Then I started to have errors from my keyboard, ie typing a letter and 3 random characters would appear. So overall, terrible experience with this piece of junk of a software

malicius programmes

Years ago, it was one of the best download programmes, but now it's full of adverts and malicious programmes. It fills your PC with rubbish. BEWARE!!!

Installer is FULL of adware

Installer is FULL of adware. When running the installer even when clicking decline for the optional software (adware garbage) it still downloads it you have to click cancel then it wont download the software, extremely deceptive be very careful. Super scummy company, would rather include ads on the website instead of stuff like this.

New Version JDownloader 2 works Flawlesly now!

As of now, the 2023 new version of the software, JDownloader 2, works excellently, at least for me. I had some issues at the start, but after a quick search on Google, the problem with settings was solved, and now I'm appreciative to the developer team for creating this tool and letting people use it for free without limitations and with just the option to donate if you like the software (which I will do when I get money).

+ Easy to understand for an absolute newbie like me.
+ It is easy to find solutions if there is a problem by using Google.
+ Fast downloading (saves a lot of time if you need to download like 1K videos).
+ No problems downloading the whole channel with 1.2k videos.

- Default settings didn't work as needed; I had to do a quick search on Google and read a quick tutorial.
- I had to do a few setting changes for different sites, though it is really easy to understand and fast to do.

My personal experience has been wonderful thus far—nothing bad to say, really. This software is a keeper.

If there was an issue in the past, judging from older reviews, they have fixed all the issues by now in 2023, and the software runs beautifully without any hiccups.

I strongly suggest this one if you are looking to download all videos from channels on all popular platforms quickly and free of charge.

DONT USE

Every day it downloads the same packages again and again. What is this for a trash?

Incompetent programers, Premium is absolute scam, doesnt work either.

Much better than browser

When i was downloading large files at my browser, sometimes it stopped for no reason and other stuff. JDownloader is just great, it downloads much faster, download didn't failed one, and you can stop download, shut your computer down, and resume to the download. I Love It.
