JDownloader

One of the most infuriating things about watching sexy XXX movies is that when you want to download the video, it's often impossible to do so. Between requiring users to become a member before downloading or outright refusing to provide the option, porn fans are often out of luck. Enter JDownloader. Since 2008, the open-source download tool has been helping people download any content they find on the Web – including pornography. If one can copy-and-paste a link, they can assuredly use JDownloader to download any porn video they desire. Take the pain out of searching for an offline copy of a video to watch, and never be left scrambling. It’s always free, so try it, and always have a plan for downloading the hot content one desires!

So simple to download…anything

It does not matter how experienced a person is with using the Web: they’ve undoubtedly ran into the situation where they want to download a file but are unable to do so. Perhaps the download option isn’t there, or maybe it’s so hidden that the laymen couldn’t possibly find a way to download it. Especially when a user wants to download an XXX movie for their offline collection, this can be beyond annoying. That’s the beauty of JDownloader. This open-source tool (we’ll discuss the benefits of this later) is (almost) a ‘save-it-and-forget-it’ download tool. It’s almost in the sense that users have to perform a few steps before the video can be downloaded, but it isn’t difficult. As stated earlier, if a person knows how to copy-and-paste links into their Web browser, then they’ve already overcome the learning curve of JDownloader. Select ‘File’ and choose ‘Analyse Text with Links,’ then paste the link into the box with the phrase ‘Enter links, URLs, Websites, or any other text here…’ Those that have already copied the link may already find it in this field – that’s normal. Next, choose where the download should be saved (one’s default download folder will already be selected), followed by any details one wants to enter into the following fields. Entering a package name is not mandatory (it will be automatically applied if left blank). The following fields are not mandatory either - though they are worth checking out. Users can choose to add a comment (ideal when users are downloading multiple videos and want to keep them in order), create a password for the archive (when creating an archive with multiple files like a zip or .rar file), and a password for protected links (when applicable). Choose the preferred priority of the file – appropriate if downloading more than one simultaneous video. This option gives users the option of choosing how much bandwidth each file uses. It's worth noting that users will eventually be alerted that they must download something called FFmpeg – users should follow the presented link and download it. FFmpeg is essentially a suite of libraries and programs that processes, transcodes, scales, and essentially does all the difficult legwork for users automatically. The suite allows JDownloader to do all the heavy lifting, so users don’t have to – and it will make the difference between being able to download a video and having to go without. It’s safe – download it!

Power options for advanced users

Even though it is simple to download videos using JDownloader from simply copying-and-pasting the URL of an XXX movie or clip, that doesn’t mean that the tool is simplistic by any means. For those that take the time to get to learn how to use JDownloader (which, in truth, really won’t take any time at all), they’ll be rewarded with advanced options that will allow them to customize how their content is ultimately downloaded. For starters, users can select a video and look at its properties. In the properties box, users can set the maximum chunks JDownloader can download for the file (the lower the chunks, the easier it is on bandwidth), the priority of the content, rename the file, open the file in a browser, force the download to start, close the program after the video has download, choose to extract an archive automatically after it has been downloaded (ideal when download an .rar or .zip file) and delete the archive once file shave been extracted, and so much more. For those that will be using this invaluable tool, going through the menus and properties will be incredibly helpful.

Power plug-ins

It may sound like a kinky sex toy one would hear about in a review on ThePornDude, but the amazing plug-ins that people can install are so helpful that they need to consider installing them. Select ‘Settings’ at the top of the program, then look at the sidebar. Scroll to the bottom and look under the heading ‘Not installed yet.’ Here, users will find a plethora of helpful plug-ins, and while not every one of them are mandatory or even useful, there are a couple that people need to keep in mind. Once a plug-in has been selected, select Install now to begin using that plug-in. The most helpful plug-in seems to be ‘Scheduler.’ After it has been installed, users can choose when JDownloader should be active. It’s perfect for those moments when users want to download porn videos yet do not want to use up all the bandwidth when others in the household are using the Internet; ‘Scheduler’ helps them choose when JDownloader can be active. Additionally, users will want to learn more about ‘Folder Watch.’ This plug-in allows users to place what’s called a Linklist file (a .crawljob file in JDownloader) into a designated folder. When one wants JDownloader to download files from multiple links, all they have to do is place those links into the file, and JDownloader will automatically download them. Theoretically, a person could download every video from a category – or from that free tube site, period. Visit JDownloader.org to learn more about linklist files and how they can be created for the tool. Imagine: a person finds a category on a free tube site that features a ton of amazing videos, and they want to download all of them. All they have to do is place the links to that section into the file. JDownloader will scan the folder - which in turn scans the file - and show the user how many videos are available for download. Pick-and-choose the videos one wants (depending on the size of the category this could take a long time) and let JDownloader do the reset. Combined with the ‘Scheduler’ plug-in, this one-two punch will allow users to download any video they want, when they want!

UI of the tool needs a facelift

As powerful as JDownloader is, the user interface needs a serious facelift. It has an out-of-date look that feels like the tool should belong in the early 2000s rather than in this decade. And while seasoned desktop users will be able to use JDownloader without much of an issue, it still feels clunky to navigate and ultimately use the tool. The functionality of the tool is more important, but still, JDownloader should opt for putting a fresh coat of paint on the tool and making it a little more user-friendly.

Open-source software that’s available for all OSes – and free!

For the users that value free software that works, they should support open-source software like JDownloader when applicable. Open-source software means that ordinary people can tweak and work on the tool to make it better. Since JDownloader has been around for over a decade, the community has improved the tool and made it better than ever. For example, it’s the reason FFmpeg – another tool that’s open source – has been able to be integrated into JDownloader and systematically allowing the tool to download essentially any porn video a person throws its way. For those that want practical, no-nonsense tools that make their online lives just a little bit easier, supporting software like JDownloader is the only way to go. And it’s available for all kinds of operating systems (OSes) too! Of course, JDownloader can be installed on Windows desktops, but it’s also available for Mac, Linux, and even Java! No matter the operating system one is using on their desktop, they can use JDownloader to download any porn video as long as they have the link where the video is located. There’s no reason to add to your offline porn collection starting today: download today, and open up a brand new world of smut downloading!

Suggestions:

Once a person figures out how to download content using JDownloader, it becomes easy and straightforward. However, the clunky UI and the difficulty of navigating the website can make it challenging to learn how to use the more advanced options. Even so, for the purpose of the tool – to download videos that otherwise could not be downloaded online – it succeeds tremendously.
