Jdownloader2: Proxy List
| Feature | Rating (1–5) | |--------|--------------| | Ease of adding proxies | 3/5 (no import from text file) | | Proxy rotation | 4/5 (works with extension) | | Reliability with free proxies | 2/5 (not JD2’s fault) | | Reliability with paid/residential | 5/5 | | Documentation | 3/5 (scattered in forums) |
Bottom line:
If you already have a list of working proxies, JD2 is one of the best download managers for using them. For free proxies, it’s more trouble than it’s worth. For paid rotating proxies (e.g., from IPRoyal, Oxylabs), it’s excellent. Jdownloader2 Proxy List

| Task | Recommendation |
|------|----------------|
| Proxy list size | Keep ≤50 active entries. More → JD2 UI lag due to health checks. |
| Health check interval | Advanced Setting: Proxy.healthCheckIntervalMinutes = 15 (default is 5, too aggressive). |
| Ban detection | Use Proxy.banOnConnectError = true (auto-disables dead proxies). |
| Exclude localhost | Never use 127.0.0.1 proxies unless you run Tor/Stunnel on that port. |
| Logging | Enable Proxy.logProxyUsage = true → see which proxy per chunk in log/ folder. | echo '"proxies":[' > "$JD2_CONFIG
