Hmm... Sorry I'm new to OSX but how do you use jdownloader? it doesn't do anything when i click on the application.

thanks madog for answering those questions. but i have a lot more as i journey through the OS. Is there a paint software so I can post up some pictures to ask questions about the icons?

You can run IDM on Mac OS X with CrossOver.
However, there are still many good download manager apps for Mac such as: Folx, iGetter, Jdownload 2,...

The problem with jdownloader is:

- not updated it since a long time
- needs Java to be installed
- looks ugly

So better try to find something more up-to-date at cnet or MacUpdate

I used (or tried to use) this. I moved to a new computer and can't activate the pro version. It also only allows one use on one computer, not a laptop and desktop, which is pretty tight compared to other applications. I wouldn't recommend it.
