Simply paste the URL into JDownloader 2, and the app takes care of everything itself (the whole download procedure is fully automated). That's not all: JDownloader 2 also boasts a very handy clipboard monitor feature (or link grabber).

The app is capable of recognizing a download file that is compressed and extracting its contents. As expected, the app also allows you to set priorities, meaning you can rank the downloads according to their importance. You can start, stop, or pause downloads, set bandwidth limitations, and set the app to auto-extract archives. It can download simple files, torrents, entire playlists from YouTube, and even videos with subtitles. JDownloader is capable of downloading a wide range of content from the Internet. Secondly, despite its questionable looks, JDownloader 2 is a powerhouse when it comes to features. Because its build using Java, there's no surprise that the app works on all major platforms such as macOS, Windows, and even Linux. First, there aren't that many good cross-platform download managers out there that are also free and open-source. How can such an old-school-looking app be so popular? Upon first laying your eyes on its alien Java GUI (we know, Windows users won't even bat an eye), you might be wondering why this is the case.

JDownloader 2 is one of the most popular mass download software out there.
