Install Jdownloader on Ubuntu 13.10 using PPA Repository

Last updated: July 9, 2013

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to install Jdownloader on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy, 13.04 Raring, 12.04 Precise and Linux Mint using the ppa repository.

Downloader is open source, platform independent download manager written completely in Java. It allows the automatic downloading of files and split files from one-click hosting sites such as RapidShare – not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don’t pay. It offers downloading in multiple parallel streams, captcha recognition, automatic file extraction and much more. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported – so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JDownloader does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and DLC files.
