jDownloader is available for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and an all-platform compatible Java application (link at bottom). You require JRE (Java Runtime) installed on your system for jDownloader to work.

Similar to many other freeware which offer to install unwanted 3rd party toolbars and shortcuts, jDownloader also has it’s own affiliation with Kikin. Make sure you select the ‘No, Thanks’ option before you proceed with the installation.

In the right panel, you should be able to see all the available extensions. Select JD Remote Control check box.

Launch jDownloader and go to the Setup tab. Enter your computer’s IP address along with the given port (step 4 above) in the Intranet or the Internet URL, depending on whether you want to use WiFi (Intranet) or 3G (Internet).

In case of a LAN, the Intranet URl is of the form http://192.168.1.1:10025. Your internet IP address can be either static or dynamic. You can use jDownloader in case of static IP address, which stays the same always. Check out your firewall settings for incoming connections if you have some trouble connecting to your system.

That’s it.

The Status tab lets you gives you an overview of the downloads, including total files in the queue, finished and still downloading files, download rate, and so on.

jDownloader has a built-in browser, which you can use to surf the net and add new downloads. This is accessible from the ‘Search’ tab.
