jDownloader, a free downloader's best friend

jDownloader is a automatic download manager specifically made for file hosting sites. It supports an impressive list of around 75 hosts.

some of the best features:
- link checker
- captcha & link protector recognition
- no more ADs because it bypasses website
- automatic RAR and HJsplit extraction (supports passwords)
- plugins (remote control, RSS,...)
- configure multiple RS premium accounts - to go over 2.66GB daily limit
- CCF, RSDF and DLC encrypted container formats (like torrents)
- open source (program can live longer) closed source RapGet no longer being developed
- cross platform; Windows, Mac, Linux

It's real easy to use. You can even choose your preferred rapidshare server

I've tried it with rapidshare and netload and it works. Just put your links in the waitlist before bed or work, and when you come back they're all done.

Many new users ask why Jdownloader does not solve their captchas.
Many remember when Jdownloader was able to solve the majority of hosts captchas... Only a couple of years ago...
Now if you want to download stuff all night while you sleep you can try a program like Captcha BrotherHood.
It's a Captcha Exchange Server. In poor words it let other people solve your captchas while sometimes YOU solve other people captchas.

Only for Windows.

Download the microsoft installer.
Install as administrator.
If Jdownloader was installed in the default folder you don't have to do anything else.
Let it create a desktop icon.

Open the program CBH Captcha Solver.
Click on File, Create a New User.
Compile the required fields.
Create.

You can earn credits by solving other people captchas.
Start. Every tot seconds a sound warn you that you have to solve a captcha. If you do it right you earn credits. You can also buy them, but I don't see why...
You get 7 credits for solving captchas, you spend 10 credits for your own captchas to be solved.
For confirmations you get 4 credits. If you type wrong captchas you get 5 points penalty, if I remember right... -6 for timing out.
When you're tired you can click Stop and close the program.
When you download with Jdownloader every captcha solved by others requires 10 credits, so be sure you have enough credits before many downloads (100 credits=10 downloads).
When you don't want to use the credits you earned, in Jdownloader you have to check Disable Automatic CAPTCHA (in Settings/Anticaptcha) and manually solve your own captcha.

In a couple of days I earned a thousand credits while reading and used a couple of hundreds.



Only problem is sometimes the server is down and the service does not work.

Sounds like an interesting project.

In Program Files (x86)\JDownloader\jd\captcha\methods the program creates a new folder called captchaBrotherhood containing the plugin.

I must add that if you haven't installed Jdownloader to the default folder it's sufficient to manually copy the captchaBrotherhood folder to the location where you have installed your Jdownloader, always in the jd\captcha\methods folder.

Now at night you earn 8 points for solving captchas.
From 02.00 to 08.00 GMT to be precise.

Yo, they downgraded it ... about 6 month ago when captcha brotherhood was kinda new, you have got about 10 credits in the night for solving and 7 a day.

The author has updated the program.
He says it's better to uninstall the previous version. Then download and install the new one (install as admin).

I didn't remember my pass...
Somewhere in AppData there's an account.txt file where there are your CaptchaBrotherHood account name and password.
To find Windows AppData folder simply type %appdata% in windows explorer.
In my win7 it is in Users/user name/AppData/Local/Captcha_Brotherhood

But at the end the new version still remembers my pass...

And that obviously didn't work...

There used to be a similar service called captchatrader last year and it went down after some operation period.
Lots of people lost their points earned and money they poured into due to its corruption.
jCatGUI is an application I used to use to earn points. Now it uses 9kw for captcha service after captchatrader's down.
I do not know how long captchabrotherhood lasts, and I will never use this kind of service again.

[xiandaniel]

Never buy credits. Earn them by solving other people captchas.
If the site goes down... Amen, you lost time, not money!
To me it's wonderful to be able to download a movie in a night without having premium account on sites.

It seems to be creating empty folders in the folder I point it to. The folders have the names of files but nothing in them.
Help?
