We can't say that JDownloader for Mac is very user friendly,
but for more-experienced users willing to put in some time on the front end to
learn about the app, it proves to be a very capable tool for downloading
content from the Web.
JDownloader has some great features, but offers little in the
way of user guidance for its busy interface. If you don't spend time getting a
few helpful tips from the publisher's forums, you may end up with the same
video file downloaded in multiple formats, which you will trash. The whole
point of the app is to try to save you time, not waste it, so we suggest you
get up to speed before using JDownloader. Once you get the hang of it, it turns
out to be fairly easy to use. As you browse the Web for content, and find
something you may want to have on your Mac, all you have to do is use the
Linkgrabber tab to add the URL, and JDownloader does the rest. We found that it
did a good job downloading content from all types of sources in multiple
formats, including FLV, MP3, MP4 and WebM, at different quality levels. You can
also easily choose to look only for specific file types, which helps speed
things up even more. In addition to selecting the directory you want to save
certain file types to, JDownload will also enter those captcha codes you
typically need to enter manually to prove you're a human.
JDownloader isn't for the novice user, and its user interface
isn't as intuitive as you'd expect from this type of application, but it excels
at its primary function: downloading your favorite content from the Web.
