Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hi
In your case the basic steps are to get Joomla! 3.x running and then first migrate to jD1.9.2.11 After that you upgrade from jD1.9.2.11 to jD 3.2.x on Joomla! 3
There are several articles on migration in the documentation such as
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/from-jd1-9-1-x-on-joomla-2-5-to-jd3-2-on-joomla-3-2
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/how-to-upgrade-jdownloads-component-from-1-9-x-to-latest-3-x-version

Also
http://www.jdownloads.net/documentations/item/from-jd2-5-x-on-joomla-2-5-to-jd3-2-on-joomla-3-3-or-higher

The key is making backups and being careful not to rush.  Also record the ids of your existing downloads and categories as these may change.  This means that if you are using the jD Content plugin in articles or similar you may need to edit them to get the new ids.
Lots of people have done this successfully - it needs care and planning  And BACKUPS
