Installing jdownloader.jar

[jason.white]

I've been doing some research to try and find the best flashget replacement for Linux and have been pointed towards jdownloader. I'm very new to linux and just trying to learn as much a possible.

Basically I downloaded jdownloader and don't have a clue as to how install it. The main package was a .zip that when extracted reveals jdownloader.jar. How do I install this package? As much detail as possible would be appreciated as I am a total n00b. Also, if you could include any GUI method as well as a Terminal method that way I can learn both.

Thanks so much in advance,

-Jason

try right clicking it, go to properties and select "open with". select java. of course you will need java installed first.

If you are using Firefox, try DownThemAll extension. It is easy to install and integrates perfectly with Firefox.

I used flashget a long time ago, but since I discovered DownThemAll it has been my default an only download manager.

I've tried downthemall and get this error: No links or pictures found.

Ideas?

I right clicked to download the links that I had selected.

Try this in gnome-terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jdownloader

After installation start jdownloader and wait to download latest version...
