Jdownloader always did the job for me, especially it's anti captcha plugins are worth gold (I pay for most hosters i like, but those i don't Jdownloader 2 beta + plugins saves the day, anyday and all day)

Some people will hate it for the learning curve, but once you get to know it, you will never go back to IDM & the likes.

Yet if you absolutely despise Jdownloader, im voting IDM in 2nd place for sure.

I recommend Jdownloader 2 beta, even though it is not 100% open source.

IDM did not impress me. I am now using Jdownloader 2 beta. But I can not get it to work with Dailymotion or Pornhub. So I still must use the DownloadHelper plug in. But the free version of that inserts Qcode in HD downloads. When will we have "one downloader ti rule them all"?

Any tips on getting Jdownloader to work with Dailymotion and Pornhub? And how to download video on sites that seem to provide not downloadable link?

And question for Jdownloader expert. How to download only the highest rez video instead of all available versions? Default is to download all.
