    JD should work.
    I've had it working for ages on an old XP machine that is just a single core Celeron 1.7GHz
    Use the offline installer.

    I hate Jdownloader - may it burn in hell. I've been using IDM short for Internet Download Manager and have been happy with it so far

    It isn't freeware.

    Use the DownThemAll! addon for Firefox then. I've used that a fair bit but only for small stuff.

    Ever since JDownloader updated it would not run any more, uninstalled it then tried to reinstall it with the offline installer, wouldn't install.

    Now im stuck using damn mipony.......

    Did you have a look on the JD forums? To me that sounds like some sort of java issue.
    I think a while back there was some mention of avoiding a java update, or to deal with it in a specific way but I honestly can't remember the details atm. It was a couple of years ago though.

    Have you tried installing JD2?

    yup, i tried every method that does not involve that damn web installer, my only gripe with mipony is it don't have as many filehosts supported as JDL

    I use downthemall. It usually works, but I noticed that some file hosting websites don't support it and when you use it you'll just get an error file with the download. I tried to download something from uploaded earlier, and got an error file. That just means they don't support download managers.
