Title: JDownloader failing on frequently updated files?
Post by: karina776 on 25.01.2026 20:00:44
Is anyone else seeing JDownloader break or reset links when downloading game scripts that use "auto farming"?

When files get updated often, my downloads either fail to resume, duplicate, or show checksum errors. I'm wondering if this is a JDownloader setting issue (like chunking, retries, or link checking) or just how it handles frequently changing files.

Any tips?

Hi,
Have not heard of this jD behaviour before!!  Are the Downloads being "auto updated"?

In jD the actual downloadable files are not in the database but a pointer to the file is in the database.  Also all the information about the downloadable file is held in the database.  So if only the downloadable file is changed then there is a probability of "misbehaviour".
