Where Does JDownloader Store Config and Downloads?
JDownloader cfg folder, download list and packages on every OS.
Last updated
JDownloader keeps link lists, account logins, settings and logs in a cfg folder inside its install directory, not in user profiles. Portable installs carry everything including queues between machines.
Copy cfg before Java updates and captcha-provider swaps. Link lists rebuild slowly while premium logins retype fast.
Where JDownloader stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\JDownloader 2.0\cfg
Standard install config tree with download lists and account files. Portable installs use cfg inside the app folder instead. Close JDownloader fully before copying live lists.
~/Library/Application Support/JDownloader 2.0/cfg
macOS config mirror for app installs. Portable layouts keep cfg next to the launcher like Windows.
~/jd2/cfg
Default self-contained install path with cfg inside. Package-managed installs may vary; search home for a cfg folder with DownloadList in it.
Frequently asked questions
