>>54052943
Am I the only one who never used one of these in 20 years of almost daily computer usage?

What are they exactly? Download queue without having a browser opened? FTP clients?
>>
>>54059640
They are good for downloading something with multiple connections so you can download files faster.
>>
>>54059640
I've never used one either. I thought they died in the late 90s and were used exclusively by normies/grandpas.
>>
>>54057519
Jdowmloader is dead. Their installer comes with adware now.
>>54059640
I used them for downloading split archives from uploaded

>>54059942
>installer adware
You mean like every Windows program? Download the jar
>>
>>54055964
>Not understanding how good multi-threaded downloads are

There's a non-adware installer

>>
>>54061343
>he doesn't know why download managers are still essential
>>
>>54059640
Queue files
Resume downloads
Split downloads into parts and use multiple connections to download faster
Start downloads from page url so you don't have to navigate to download sites' malware ridden pages
Download videos from video host urls, not just youtube either

They have a whole plethora of features.
>>
>>54059942
>Their installer comes with adware now

They provide clean installers on their forum.

Is there one besides jd2 that supports the various shitty filehosts with timeouts and captchas and shit out there? A dm is useless if you just have plain http downloads, i use jd2 because it deals with those shitty filehost websites for me

What came first? The download, or the download manager?
>>

>>
>>54052943
Haven't used one of these in a decade. What do people use them for these days?
>>
>>54073501
making downloads much faster
>>
>>54073979
It's impossible for a download to go faster than what my ISP speeds are set at. You're going to need to clarify what you mean.
>>
>>54074232
Lets say you have a host that lets you download at 1mb/s. Your ISP does 8mb/s. A download manager will make 8 connections, downloading 8 pieces at 8 mb/s aka your line speed.
>>
>>54074232
A download manager allows you to saturate your line speed with a host that downloads slower than your line speed. It's kind of like downloading a torrent.
>>
>>54074333
I never download anything from a host that has such a limit. Are you referring to those shitty file download sites from the early 2000s? People still use those? They still have utterly shit speed?

>>54074359
Or I could just skip this process and use torrents. Which is exactly what I've been doing for about a decade now.
>>
For those wondering, most download managers support pause/resume way better then the web browsers manager, which for people on dial up (me) is a must have
>>
>>54074404
Not every host is working perfectly 100% of the time.
>>
>>54074663
What hosts are you even referring to? What are you downloading?

This topic reads like it's out of the mid-2000s.
>>
>>54074703
I don't know what you do with your life, but there are a lot of things on filehost sites I've downloaded because there are no torrents.

Obscure albums, game files, mods, books, etc. If you don't, that's cool dude.
>>
>>54074856
I'm not 12 so game mods don't mean shit to me. Obscure albums are easy to find on private trackers.

Join the 21st century.
>>
>>54074856
That's true
