Editor's review of Orbit Downloader 2.7.8

• "Download en masse"

Downloading videos, Flash games, and large batches of files is greatly simplified with this freeware download manager, but Firefox 2 users may have difficulty with integration.

Orbit's primary interface is bland, but the basic toolbar and info boxes guarantee everything is easy to find. Orbit shines with Internet Explorer integration. To get a media file, simply right-click a video or photo and choose Download from your context menu. Grabbing a Flash game is even easier. Hover over a Flash file, and Orbit displays a button for a fast download.

Fast and small are key traits of this application. It uses a bare minimum of memory, and downloads are much faster than with a browser alone. Where Orbit shines is its one-button simplicity for downloading multiple files on a site. From there, you can easily filter for file type. Orbit's numerous configuration options make it one of the more flexible download managers available.

Although designed to integrate with the IE, Firefox, Opera and Maxthon, we had great difficulty getting Orbit to work seamlessly with Firefox. We finally gave up trying to get the Flash download feature to work. Nevertheless, anyone downloading large numbers of files will find this freeware indispensable.

  by Artistechick on November 1, 2008

  Pros: Easy installation

  Cons: Can't convert the files to watch on my Ipod Nano..HELP??
  Browser closes every couple of minutes
  Sometimes it's annoying watching a Youtube video and the 'GetIt' icon is always in the way (where the loading bar of the Youtube video is)

  Summary: Not sure if there are any viruses
  Easy to uninstall, haven't found any traces of it since i uninstalled it for the time being.
