About JD Link Sender
JD Link Sender
A Chrome/Brave/Firefox (Manifest V3) extension that sends links and encrypted containers to
JDownloader 2 through its ClickNLoad2 (CNL2) HTTP interface. It's a minimal replacement for
MyJDownloader: no cloud account, no third-party service — the extension talks directly to your
JDownloader instance's /flash/* endpoint (local network or exposed via a tunnel).
FEATURES
- A single context menu entry ("Send to JDownloader"), available in three contexts:
- right-click on a link
- right-click on a text selection containing one or more URLs
- right-click on empty page space (scans the whole page)
- Automatic recognition of two container formats, in priority order:
1. Encrypted CNL2 blocks (crypted + jk + optional passwords)
2. Plain link lists in a <textarea> (e.g. pages like lficrypt.org)
- If no container is found, it simply sends the raw URL.
- Confirmation popup before sending, with per-hoster selection when more than one hoster is
detected.
- Package name automatically inferred from the page's meta tag or title.
- Options page to configure JDownloader's base URL (local or remote) and test the connection
(/jdcheck.js).
REQUIRED JDOWNLOADER SETUP
Before using this extension, you must enable and authorize the external CNL2 interface in
JDownloader, otherwise requests are rejected:
1. Open JDownloader, gear icon top right, then "Advanced Settings".
2. In the search box type: cnl
3. Enable the "RemoteAPI: Extern Interface" checkbox (listens on port 9666).
4. In the "RemoteAPI: Extern Interface Auth" field add the string: jd-local-extension
The final value must be: ["jd-local-extension"]
Without this authorization JDownloader discards the extension's requests.
5. Leave "RemoteAPI: Extern Interface Localhost Only" unchecked if you want to reach
JDownloader from another network/device too (e.g. via a tunnel); check it only if the
browser and JDownloader always run on the same computer.
Finally, open the extension's Options page and enter the URL of your JDownloader instance
(e.g. http://192.168.1.100:9666 on a local network, or an HTTPS domain if exposed via a
tunnel), then press "Test connection".
USAGE
1. Browse to a page with links to download (direct links or behind an encrypted container).
2. Right-click a link, some selected text containing URLs, or an empty area of the page.
3. Select "Send to JDownloader" from the context menu.
4. Confirm in the popup that opens (with optional per-hoster selection) — the links are sent to
JDownloader via CNL2.
PRIVACY
No data is ever sent to the extension developer or to any third party. Links and containers are
sent exclusively to the JDownloader instance you configure yourself. Full privacy policy:
