Hi,
A little while ago, I was planning to upgrade my Internet service, and began adding a lot of links to JDownloader in anticipation of having faster download speed (upgrading from 1 megabit DSL to cable broadband). About a week ago, I backed up this long list to a DLC file. I hadn't upgraded my Internet service yet, though, and it was a little inconvenient having so many links in JDownloader other than the things I was currently downloading, so I deleted the links I wouldn't be downloading until I had upgraded my service. Anyway, I just loaded the content of the DLC file back into JDownloader, since I now want to start downloading all the links I compiled, but the thing is that I'm now considering paying for a multihoster, since this would allow me to download quickly from all the different file hosts on my list. In order to do this, though, as far as I understand, I would have to enter the original URLs into the multihoster, to get the new URLs I could use in JDownloder. The problem is that all of the links I reloaded into JDownloader now only show the link container address, not the original URLs that I would need to use on the multihoster site. It would be a lot of work to copy and paste all of the URLs from JDownloader if I could see them, but recompiling this very long list from scratch would be far more time consuming, and would waste all of the time I spent gathering all of the links (which took days). So, my question is whether there is any way for me to see the original URLs in JDownloader. I've already experimented with changing the URL display order, but the links still only show the DLC source. Is this what I'm stuck with, either not using the multihoster or having to compile the list from scratch again in order to get the original URLs for the multihoster? |

DLC is a container format to exchange links and not backup/restore. DLC does not store meta information like resume information and download folders....
Without a backup of your old cfg folder, there is nothing you can do. In case you still can access your old installation, simply copy over the existing cfg folder from your older installation to new one. the cfg folder contains everything (accounts, lists, passwords...)

You don't have to manually convert the links with your multihoster. JDownloader does this automatic in case the multihoster is supported. Just add the account in Settings-Accounts.
Doesn't make much sense to use JDownloader if you still convert the links manually

You can only copy URL one by one from DLC/container. There is no way to mass copy.
Would be better to add your account in JDownloader and let it do all the converting/handling instead of doing it manually.

Thanks for the replies. I've never used a multihoster before, and the one I checked out indicated that new links had to be generated. If I can just enter the login information in JDownloader and all of the supported file hosters will be covered, this is perfect. Obviously, I'd just prefer to download using the links restored from the dlc. (I realize now that using a dlc for backup/restore isn't the way to go.) Thanks again.

For the future, just backup/keep a copy of the cfg folder if you want to backup/restore the complete links/settings/accounts.
In case your multihoster is supported, just enter your logins in Settings-Accounts-add In case it's not supported, create new thread and ask for support for it
