I was using NNTPGrab today, and occur me the model of this tool would be ideal for a
future JDownloader version.
This is the first screen in the NNTPGrab GUI:
I quote this NNTPGrab features:
- Possibility to run the GUI on a different computer than where the downloads are happening
- Possibility to control the program using a webinterface
Running JDownloader core on a server with great connection speeds and then multiple users connecting via a webinterface or GUI, this would be perfect.
I will enumerate some pros in favor of this model:
- Reduce install size in "clients"(install only the GUI or nothing if we use the webinterface),
- Reduce CPU and RAM usage,
- Adding files by a webinterface/GUI from other devices/PCs like a mobile phone,
- Multiple users on the same computer can use the same JDownloader,
- Better management of the IP change(two PCs with JDownloader running one the same internet connection is a mess),
