This is a feature that I've been looking for for some time. Sometimes, some pages upload a file many times to different hosters, to make it a sure serve, or something like that. It would be nice if JDownloader grabbed all the links, and saved them for ONE file, so in case one failed, it could continue with another hoster.

Say, there's a rapidshare link and a megaupload link. I'd like to be able to add BOTH links and have JDownloader parse them into one file. Suppose I could set it to start from Rapidshare (since it doesn't allow resuming downloads). Then, I could download another file from Megaupload at the same time. However, if that download fails, it could then revert to using the Megaupload link to continue the download (or Mediafire, or something like that).

I think that would be a great feature!!

not a bad idea..

You should be able to set a list of the order of priority of hosters to use as a default..
and also be able to change the order of the list per package/file if you want to.

jd already can handle this in simple way
add all links (must be interchangable) to the same package , they must have the exact same filename. then set jdownloader settings to skip existing files and jd will load it from different hosts and each file only once.

for more advanced mirrorcontrolling you will have to wait till

is finished

Thanks for the replies!! hmm... I'll look into that, thanks a lot!
