Using JDownloader Correctly / Make sure its worth it !

So, many people who want to download multiple files, probably at one point came across JDownloader.
Jdownloader is quite an amazing tool if you can correctly configure it.
Which will be the main focus of this post.

First, you should download JDownloader, its completely free, and theres No viruses.
http://jdownloader.com/ <- pretty simple link too.

Once you have installed JDownloader you need to configure some things;
First click the settings tab in JDownload and click Reconnection;

---

~ If you know your Exact router name and model;
-- Click Select router, choose your router from the list, and Jdownloader will write the script for you.

~ If you Dont know your exact router, or your router isnt in the list;
-- Click Fetch Router IP
Then your router's IP should appear in the Router IP area, (its most commonly 192.168.1.1)
Now click Create Connection Script**

---

-WARNING-: Please be careful with what you do here, you can really screw up your router.

JDownloader will now open an Internet Window connecting to your router.

---

Most commonly at this point a window will appear asking for a password and username.
If nobody in your house / on your network has changed it, try these combonations;

admin
password

admin
admin

Or google your routers default info.

---

Now your next goal is to get your router to reset.
Most routers upon resetting will acquire A new IP address to the Internet Provider.
A new IP to your Internet provider will let you start downloading with Rapidshare / other download sites.

You may have to dig around the menus for awhile, Mine was in , Settings -> Reboot Gateway

However, everything you click is going to be scripted(or recorded) in JDownloader, So you may want to open a new tab or window, and type your router IP that JDownloader found, and look around for the reset command before you script it.

---

your internet connection WILL reset if you do this correctly,
Once JDownloader sees that you have a new IP address, it will ask if you are finished, click yes.

** If you finish and JDownloader doesnt realize it, Cancel the recording and click the RAWMODE checkbox and try again **

---

Once thats finished, you can Click the AutoReconnect button to make it checkmarked, (in the center top of jdownloaders GUI)

Then start downloading, If you reach any download limits, JDownloader will run a script that will reset your IP again.

** im not sure if this is the same for everyone, but my router doesnt Actually reset connections now, so other people in my house Do not lose internet connection while Im downloading. **

---

Happy Downloading. But be careful

If you are out to download a game;
Like Metal Gear Solid 2.

Make sure you google the specs for it first,
because it might not be able to run with onboard graphics
and you might have a laptop with onboard graphics

and waste 24 hours downloading it D:
