Account Usage rules
JDownloader lets you chose which host should be downloaded via which account - it also lets you chose the order.
By default, JDownloader prefers premium account download over free account download and "real" premium account downloads over multihoster premium account downloads.
On too many errors, JDownloader may switch to free (or free-account) download mode even if there is an active premium account.
You can use these usage rules to force JDownloader to e.g. never allow any downloads without account - JDownloader should then wait instead and resume once downloads via account are possible again.
Follow these steps:
In case you are adding a rule for multihoster download, keep this in mind:
Add the rule for the real host e.g. bitshare.com (see screenshot above) - do not add rules for multihosts as they will not do anything (there are exceptions but mostly theoretical and not relevant for this article).
