What is jDownloads?

jDownload trans

jDownloads is an extensive Download Manager for the Content Management System Joomla. It is a free GPL Extension with many special features!

Despite the many options, it is easy to use as it integrates seamlessly into the Joomla administration and has the familiar structure and appearance of the Joomla core components. This makes familiarisation much easier.

Get a first overview by taking a look at the list of the most important functions here or visit the new jDownloads Demo installation with some application examples to see what is possible with this download manager. However, this demo only contains the most frequently used functions, as a complete overview is not possible due to the many variations and options. It therefore only shows a few possibilities as an initial overview.

Makes your downloads management easy!
