    I was going to use jdownloader but Java is going nowhere near my system so I'll just wait for it to continue downloading via the Chinese site.

    I've had JAVA installed on all my machines for as long as I can remember, all these JAVA malware horror stories are BS :)

    Never had a virus because of JAVA ever

    Any half good Downloader would work. Just check the source out of page with download on and download in browser without there silly client.

    I've seen Java vulnerabilities exploited on a number of machines, none of my own. I know what your saying though, if you're a careful user, which I am you should be fine. I just don't like Java.

    Yea I think that's the key, if you know what you're doing, you're pretty much ok, lots of vulnerabilities, but 99% of them require a dumb user to work (PEBKAC)

    You can be as safe a user as you like nothing is stopping someone hacking a legit site and shuving some nasty java code on it. Or one of the most common hacking advertisements.

    Tip just disable Java Browser plugin ;) problem solved.

    But if you visit a site that pops up a JAVA request, you can just avoid the site / cancel the popup
