JDownloader is great download software, created in Java, which makes a fast download of groups of files or formats from one-click websites. In December 2009 JDownloader was in the top 1000 most visited sites of Spain. The German online magazine, Chip.de named it “Newcomer of the Year” in 2009, and is ranked the top 50 most downloaded software and over five hundred thousand downloads in a year.
It was 2012 that there were complaints that JDownloader incorporated adware without the user’s notice. JDownloader contains adware according to several reports, there were further complaints mid-2014.
