Angry Have to restart JD to reset waiting time

I use a VPN and I often switch servers to avoid waiting time. Unfortunately, JDownloader STILL to this day doesn't have a feature that would save me a lot of time. Here's an example:

- I start a download from Rapidgator (abysmal for free users at the moment, BTW)
- Rapidgator says I have to wait 2 hours to start the download
- I stop the download
- I switch the server on my VPN
- I start the download again, only to see that the waiting time hasn't changed
- I RESTART JDOWNLOADER COMPLETELY
- I start the download again and now everything's OK (I "just" have to wait 3 minutes and enter the likeing captcha)

So my question is as follows: why do I have to RESTART the whole program every time I change my IP to make JD acknowledge the change? It's such a big annoyance, especially when I have to switch the servers multiple times.

because if JDownloader doesn't control the reconnection it doesn't know the IP has changed. If you can setup a script to do the vpn change and execute said script with JDownloader it will monitor for internet IP changes.

Setup a script/batch file that does the vpn change and setup it in Settings-Reconnect. That way JDownloader recognizes the changed IP and will reset the internal states.

I can't. If I could, I wouldn't post a thread about the problem. Can't you just put a universal button in the UI or something that would force JD to recheck the IP? It can't be that hard.

What VPN client do you use? Maybe we can help writing a script/batch.

The other thing to do is instead of restarting JD, you can reset the link. That resets JD's wait time. That might be easier to do via script. HOWEVER... that's a bad solution if the download is partially complete (RG tends, for me at least, to hiccup and force a wait time mid-download) which would lose the resume, making the link start from the beginning.

@Inspectah, It should be possible to detect change in external IP using the following workaround.
  • Settings > Reconnect
  • Auto Reconnect Enabled > Disable
  • Reconnect Method > External Batch Reconnect (Leave rest of the fields blank)
  • Manually change the external IP (Switch the server on your VPN)
  • After the external IP has changed, click the "Reconnect" button on the Main Toolbar
