jDownloads

The Best Download Manager for Joomla! 4, 5 & 6

jDownloads is the powerful download manager for Joomla 4, 5 & 6 — with advanced ACL control, frontend workflows, and full Unicode/UTF-8 support for international file catalogs.

Main Features

Unlimited category structure
Organize downloads in unlimited categories and subcategories. jDownloads keeps your server folder structure aligned with your category structure, with flexible naming options.

Advanced access control
Define who can view categories, who can see files, and who can download. For example, guests may browse while only registered users can download.

Full Joomla ACL integration
jDownloads fully supports Joomla Access Permissions and Access Levels for categories and downloads.

User-group based limits and rules
Set individual download limits and behavior per user group, including upload and form options for frontend submissions.

Frontend management for users
Allow selected user groups to create, edit, update, or delete their own downloads directly in the frontend, with optional category-based permissions.

Unicode / UTF-8 as a real differentiator
jDownloads supports Unicode across titles, descriptions, categories, and file-related data, including non-Latin scripts and localized character sets.
This makes jDownloads especially suitable for international projects where ASCII-only handling is not enough.

...and many more.

A complete feature overview and live demos are available on the official jDownloads website.
