So a newbie here hehe.. Im learning how to use ubuntu 9.10 (So far so Good!) The problem i have here is that when im using wine to install a .exe file it says something about the application needs java runtime environment 1.5.0.. but i have the java 6 wich is the last version to download throu the UFC or ubuntu software centre.. can some one help me ? Thanks in advance

I don't use WINE, but as I understand it, you need a windows version of Java installed via WINE for the windows apps to use.
Java - Wine-Wiki
WineHQ - Sun Java JRE

Hello and Welcome.
You'll soon find out, if you want to run Windows apps, you should strongly consider using a dual boot environment rather than try to run those apps in Linux with Wine....don't get me wrong, Wine has it's uses and I use it myself sometimes, but it isn't meant to run everything.

Have you thought about using the download manager that comes with Firefox?
As best as I can tell, Jdownloader is java, so you should be able to install it using the instructions from sun.com.

It's just an add-on for Firefox...easy as pie.

Will this work like JDownloader like supporting rapidshare, megaupload, etc,etc links ??
