I'm an avid user of Jdownloader2, the desktop application. My process is straightforward – I copy the video URL (like
https://recurbate.com/play.php?video=7218508, for instance), and Jdownloader2 swiftly snags the video file from the clipboard. Once it's in the queue, downloading becomes a breeze, just like any other file. The trick here is to switch up your VPN server for each file, ensuring a swift download experience (I typically clock in at an impressive 15-25 mb/s). The beauty lies in its simplicity, and the best part is, I don't even need an account with Recurbate.
However, there are occasional hiccups. Every now and then, I have to experiment with different VPN servers for a specific file. JD2 might throw a server error or a download limit message, prompting me to try a different approach.
As an experiment, I dabbled in downloading with browser plugins a while back, but the success rate was less than stellar. Nine times out of ten, the download would hit a snag at some point. In contrast, JD2, while occasionally pausing, has a nifty feature where it reconnects and seamlessly picks up from where the download left off. The reliability and speed of Jdownloader2 make it my go-to choice for hassle-free downloading.
