Editor's review of Orbit Downloader 2.1.1

• "Download en masse"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Orbit Downloader 2.1.1

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.

  "Fast, Grabs Flash Videos, but no RSS Podcatching feeature"

  by RADicaLSatDude on August 1, 2007

  Pros: 1. Can grab flash vidoes from any site whatsoever.

  2. Fast Transfer speeds.

  3. Metalinks and anon p2p speeds transfers even more at times.

  4. Mouse over icon in system tray shows transfers names and speeds in baloon tips.

  Cons: 1. No Podcatching RSS feature like GetRight to download audio and video podcasts.

  2. Transfers can't be dragged up or down to change priority, have to right click etc.

  3. No quick speed toggle button on main window like Free Download Manager.

  4. 'Grab Flash' button, hidden in drop down menu and not on main window for quick access.

  "TubeSucker Turbo blows this out of the water."

  Pros: downloads a file.

  Cons: Does not have near as many features as TubeSucker Turbo which I purchased.

  It is not even close.
