no more "JDownloader2.vmoptions" to assign RAM manually?

? What do you mean? If the file doesn't exist, just create it.

I add a file with filename JDownloader2.vmoptions

and text

-Xmx16g
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false


but it does not assign more RAM to JD app... it is max 7,04 at about screen, as before without adding JDownloader2.vmoptions


(my machine has 32gb RAM)

Have you re-installed JDownloader? Because only that can change the launcher itself. If so, what Installer have you used? Maybe one that doesn't work with .vmoptions files?
You are still starting JDownloader via Launcher/Exe?

You can check if vmoptions file is still applied by trying lower value, eg Xmx4g to see if max is 4gb then.

new install with "MULTIOS JAR without Installer" from cmd

starting JD with JDownloader.jar from install path...


what to do next?

.vmoptions only work with the launchers/.exe files! The launcher will read the parameters and forward them to java.
It's not possible to set those params on already running JVM, eg running .jar directly.

JDownloader.jar, you have to manually specify those on commandline as you start the jar directly.
eg create a batch with or shortcut
javaw.exe -Xmx16g -jar JDownloader.jar

thx a lot...

and how to make sure than I can run 2 JD installs at the same time?
do I have to use TWO different JAVA path origins?

install to two seperate paths. they have there own configs (all within there own install path)

well, I am using shortcut with

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw.exe" -Xmx24576m -jar "FOLDER\jdownloader.jar"


java path is same for every install !?

[Jiaz]

@verheiratet1952: Thanks for sharing example shortcut

Yes, it's fine to use the same java installation for multiple applications/instances
You can also use -Xmx24g instead of -Xmx24576m
