===Jdownloader2===

[http://jdownloader.org/ JDownloader] is a direct download manager that supports the most popular file sharing services. By copying the URL containing the files you want to download, the program will just add them automatically to its download list thanks to the link grabber feature. This software is 100% free and Open Source.

===Howto===

JDownloader is many years my favorite download manager. He has indeed many positive points:
* supports an impressive number of hosts (Uptobox, Rapidshare, Youtube, ... 1file.)
* Java-based platform
* support for multi-site premium subscriptions such alldebrid.com
* supporting different types of captchas
* controllable via a dedicated Android app or better a simple browser (my.jdownloader.org)
* Free and open-source

Only an account is needed from my.jdownloader.org to use Jdownloader2
====prepare and download====
* You need first to install java
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

* you need to make a folder
mkdir /usr/share/JD2

* you need to download the java file
cd /usr/share/JD2
wget http://installer.jdownloader.org/JDownloader.jar

====set JD====
here you need an account with your password from https://my.jdownloader.org/
* now you can launch the java software
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/JD2/JDownloader.jar

JD2 will ask to update, answer yes (y), then it need to restart

* launch again the java software
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/JD2/JDownloader.jar
here it will ask your jdownloader account.
{{Note box| at my first start, the former instance was not closed properly , I found these warnings when I launched JD2 the second time
-> existing jD instance found!
-> Send parameters to existing jD instance and exit: [--focus]
in fact you have to close JD
<nowiki>ps aux |grep JD</nowiki>
find the pid, for example here
kill -9 7336}}
====start at boot time====
now when you launch the command above your JD instance is able to run. we have to create an init script to run JD at the boot time

* create the db entry
db configuration set jdownloader service status enabled
* create the initscript
vim /etc/rc.d/init.d/jdownloader
and past this
#!/bin/sh

printf "%-50s" "Checking $NAME..."
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
PID=$(cat $PIDFILE)
if [ -z "$(ps axf | grep ${PID} | grep -v grep)" ]; then
printf "%s\n" "The process appears to be dead but pidfile still exists"

}


case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
status)
status
;;
uninstall)
uninstall
;;
restart)
stop
start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|uninstall}"
esac

we need to get that script executable
chown u+x /etc/rc.d/init.d/jdownloader

and set the time when we want it starts
chkconfig --add jdownloader
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service S90jdownloader

===Usage===
* web interface
Your web Interface is reachable at http://my.jdownloader.org

* control the service
you can control the service by
service jdownloader status
service jdownloader restart
service jdownloader start
service jdownloader stop
