Hiya. I've got a PPC G5 running 10.5.8 and I'm wondering if there are any download managers that still work with most sites? On my new mac I use JD2, but that's not compatible with most sites anymore on my PPC. Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Safari->Window->Downloads works well for me
EDIT: JDownloader has an option to download for 10.6 or lower. Try that, its Java based

Are you sure?
I just clicked on it, downloaded a DMG and opened it on my desktop…

Thank you!
Thank you, but it states
"Does NOT work on Leopard, Installing on Leopard will damage your Java installation.
Leopard already includes a version of Java 6, but it only functions on 64-bit intel processors."
In the meantime, using webarchieve I found the leopard and lower instalation file.
It installs just fine.

Well, I am not a Java expert, but the quote is just someone's opinion. Comments below just say the tutorial “doesn’t work” in a sense that some apps fail to see Java 6, while the OS sees it. So it’s incomplete, but in fact works.
Installing Java 6 on Tiger and Leopard
For another project, I found myself needing to install Java 6 (a.k.a. 1.6) on Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard, both Intel and PowerPC.
