Trying to download the latest UPF, but only half the file is downloaded. Chrome reports that the file is 3.7gb, but the download always finishes prematurely resulting in a 2gb file where only the first 65 minutes are playable.

My firefox just downloads 16byte of garbage, from any quality link. First they killed the jdownloader and now not even firefox does work.

OK second try and it installed. But now it seems I'm not smart enough to use it. I plugged in

http://edgework:xxxx@www.giantbomb.com/videos/feed/hd/?api_key=xxxx

and it did nothing... Can someone give me steps on what to do to see the failure?

Sure.

The way I did it the last years is simple. Just go to some QL (http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-shardlight/2300-11084/), click download, right click on the desired quality and copy the link. jdownloader should by default read every link you copy and offer a download. Since yesterday it doesn't come up with the desired video, but the error video.

To be clear: jdownloader NEVER needed any form of authentication.

@san_salvador: So this has been going on for the past 10 minutes

Seems this program has some issues...

Look, I am not saying jdownloader is a great piece of software. But it is the tool of choice for many of us to download stuff from a huge list of sources. The ease of use with a giantbomb premium membership is a very big argument to continue subscribing. If you can tell me about a better programm of the same capabilities, I am all ears. But AFAIK this is the best we have.

@san_salvador: For windows I can't get a working download link or one that isn't sketchy. Do you know of any that work?

This is the official site: http://jdownloader.org/download/index.

It will redirect you to MEGA to download the installer, compressed in a .rar. This is quite a lot more convoluted than it should be. The last time I installed it is many years ago because I carried my jdownloader folder with me across multiple OS installations without actually reinstalling it (which is not necessary).

@thelegendofmart:OK so the requests aren't anonymous. But they are impersonating a browser which is sketchy but not something our firewall cares about. Just to be sure I'm looking at the right requests. You're in UK. Correct?

from @smek"looking at logs I do not think jdownloader is putting the ?api part in despite it being in the download url"

That may be the problem but the ?test was in your URLs. I'd be happy to keep working to figure this out but I cannot get a working copy of jdownloader. The source requires a java developer kit I don't have or have the time to mess with. @smek seems to be making headway and I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

At least on windows jdownloader doesn't need Java installed, that has been changed a long time ago.

@smek: Sorry we can't get good download URLs except for MacOS and then got this:

So when it comes to jdownloader ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly though, there's GOT to be better options out there.

Just be honest and say "I don't give a shit.".

I regularly download videos with jdownloader, which has worked for years. Since today I get the 10MB error video file instead of the video requestet. I'm a premium member and I didn't change things on my end as far as I can tell. The download is a vital feature for me, so I hope this is an issue that can be fixed.
