First of all, I'd like to tell you that this is NOT A BUG!

JDownloader supports more than 400 different sites. For each site, JDownloader requires a so called “plugin”. The plugin “knows” how to handle the pages (links,forms,…). If the site gets updated by the site's admin out plugin might get problems and returns plugin out of date. You can imagine, that we have to update plugins every day,

And you can be sure, that we do our best to do this as fast as possible.

Since a few days ago, some virus scanner blame

• kikin_installer.exe
• kikin.dll/kikin.dll.tmp

of being a virus. This is a False-Positive Report which means that the AntiVirus tool's scanning engine made a mistake.

Kikin is, and has always been CLEAN!

Since version 0.6.193, you have not heard much about a new JDownloader version. But don't worry, we are working hard on a new version.

After extensive layout changes in 0.6.193 we were confronted with lots of critisism and compliments. So we worked hard to extend the good parts of 0.6.193 and rework the bad parts. Of course we fix all available plugins, and wrote lots of new ones.

Just to mentaion a few of the latter ones:

• Missing menu (lots of people diod not finde the big Logomenu)
• Slow performance (we improved performance a lot. Days of >80% CPU by JDownloader will be gone)
• Toolbar move-buttons (they are back again)
• Premiumconfig (has been rewritten)
• Sidebar layout (has been replaced by tabbed layout)

….

Before presenting the first releasecandidate the next days, we want to presnet some screenshots of JDownloader 0.7*

We updated the Firefox Addon to be compatible with the new Firefox 3.5. Unfortunately it's not possible to update the Addon with the Firefox update mechanism. You have to install it from here.

We are happy to announce that JDownloader will work with FlashGot with the next update. FlashGot is also an website linkgrabber which supports more features than our original Addon. With the next release the development of our Firefox Addon will be discontinued.
