To be fair I have to say that Jdownloads does what it says it can do. However it is what is going on behind the scenes that you have to be worried about. The HTML output is horrible and does not adhere to web standards. When I went to validate the mark up there where upward of 30 errors with the XHTML. so I did a little digging and found unclosed tag along with empty tables. There where id's being used twice in the same document. There are also oodles of empty div tags that simple contain nothing. There was even an ending tag for a form that was never opened. Unless you don't care about complying to web standards or have a few hours to mess around with the code to make it compliant then I would recommend another solution. After spending a few hours messing with the code I have decided to move on to another option.
Owner's replyHi moultrup,
what you want to say? You say it yourself, jDownloads can do for what it is. Maybe the sourcecode is not perfect, but works at it all - you can see alot of sites using it and satisfied with it. The better choice would be you don't have wasted your and my time in writing such a unobjective review, if you such a pro, why you don't contact me personal and say: "I will help you."
It looks like you writing for a another Downloadcomponent of Joomla or just have fun to show how pro you are, clearly anonym.
