I'm a Jdownloader user as well, but with Firefox -> view selection source, I can copy a section of links to the clipboard...Rdesc automatically parses the clipboard and pops up the links, saving a couple of mouse clicks (Jdownloader requires you to manually add the links). It a minor quibble, but it's the reason that I always try to use Rdesc first for common sites (rapidshare, hotfile, megaupload). For other sites, I go straight to Jdownloader where I'm more sure of support for the site.

JDownloader monitors the clipboard as well. I use it that way normally to copy big batches of links and they show up in JDownloader's Linkgrabber immediately. Make sure you've got the button for clipboard monitoring selected on the toolbar (It looks like a clipboard.) The only problem I've ever had with it is that is an occasional file will fail a CRC check, but one of the suggestions on the forum was to set maximum connections to 1 (in the bottom bar), which I've done, and it hasn't happened since.
Another thing I particularly like about it is that when there are mirrors of the same file (i.e. the same file on rapidshare, hotfile, and megaupload), you just copy all of them to the clipboard and it automatically recognizes this and will download part1 from rapidshare, part2 from megaupload, and part3 from hotfile simultaneously. Haven't tested this yet with RDesc. Some hosts are better than others, unless you have paid accounts with them. Megaupload is fast and allows a lot of downloading before making you take a break. Hotfile and others have unbreakable (so far) captchas, so you have to type them in manually whenever their turn comes in the download list.
It also automatically extracts RAR files, even password protected ones if you enter the password when you set a container to downloading, and even extracts RAR files within RAR files, if there are any.
For the case where there's links instead of plain text and the anchor text is not the URL, faster than going to the page source is to use the Firefox addon Multi Links to copy the URLs to the clipboard by dragging a selection rectangle around them on the page itself.

Nice links. I'm now convinced to Jdownload first.
Rdesc does have some glitches that Jd doesn't. File sorting and re-arranging is flakey...I've even had Rdesc get a division by zero error followed by the program closing. Jd is definitely more stable.
Rdesc does handle multiple sources, but I'm not sure about assembling the parts. It probably will, but it doesn't assemble "split" files.

Here's a Firefox addon I've been using for some time now for saving posters: Image Toolbar. It creates an image toolbar like that of Internet Explorer and PVD, where one of the buttons can be set to do instant saving (to a directory you can set in the options), bypassing the Save dialog box. I suggest also setting it to use big icons and setting the Open Delay to 0 ms (although something like 500ms is needed if you use "Relative to cursor" mode), options I'd like to see in PVD's image toolbar.
It also has a "Relative to cursor" mode where the toolbar appears right under the cursor and follows it around, but it blocks left-clicking since you can't offset the cursor from the toolbar. Someone modified the code here to fix that. You can go through that process or just use the attached version where I did it myself. (Just change .zip to .xpi and drag the file onto a Firefox window.)
