  1. Hello

    Does anyone know if Jdownloader can be used with torrent links? as in entering a link to download stuff?

    Thanks

    I guess you're talking about torrent magnet links. Unfortunately, JDownloader can't download torrents.

    Not directly. jdownloader isn't a torrent client. I've been using Dasan's jdownloader plugin instead. it lets me add magnet links, downloads the torrent on the server first, and then jdownloader automatically downloads the finished files to my PC.

    You can use this one here @vincent Price :

    µTorrent --> www.utorrent.com (Free Download)
    A very tiny desktop torrent client for experienced users.

    I recommend qbittorrent instead, don’t really do much of that because I only used it a couple times but it might be better and is available for windows and Mac

    or just an old version of utorrent, before they got sketchy.
    Ofc i would rather only use private tracker torrents then, because you can still use bugs in the torrent file definition otherwise.

    im using utorrent 1.8.2 version, which has a 5MB memory usage and is like 400kb big. has no crap, since its from a time where bittorrent inc hasnt already bought it.

    Don't they own the majority of private trackers nowadays? Most of their web GUIs update at about the same time. You can usually find the same asshole staff members on each site.

    I almost forgot about their IPTV services.

    Bittorrent Inc. is now known as Rainberry (maybe there was other reorgs, I don't know), and that's kind of like saying that phpBB Inc. owns majority of forums these days. Most use some combination of opentracker/UNIT3D I think, which kind of explains the synchronized updates.

    That's what I did until a while ago. Incredible piece of software. But it's starting to show its age.
    QBittorrent can be way faster. Frequently maxes out my 1Gbps internet. A sight to behold

    I'm a simple man who doesn't need many configurable options. The few times I need to torrent or use segments to download at reasonable speeds, I open a console and feed the link to aria2-next / aria2.

    Hi, I'm a user of JDownloader2
    No, you cannot download torrent with JDownloader2.

    Use qBittorrent with Jackett (you have to install Jackett and configure it, and then, into qBittorrent).

    i only use it for audio torrenting and there the staff is very nice.

    @Xupito i tried qbittorrent long time ago and i still hate it, bcs its not lightweight, its still not able to show parts you have, thats something utorrent has since like its first version. I am happy with decent 400Mbit/s down ... the bottleneck is then the computer, bcs ssd gets hot to hot easily, when i check SSD temps ...
