CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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.

Version: Orbit Downloader 2.5.2
"# Excelent # # But 1 MAJOR GLITCH I WISH THEY WOULD FIX #"
Pros: GOOD Downloads Everything No Matter What It Is I Mean Everything No Exceptions !
But WARNING !!! Dont Loose The Link to them Like I Did By Trusting They Will Stay In The List of Downloads you have not started yet ! THATS A BIG MISTAKE !
Cons: The MAJOR GLITCH , # Dont Try to Re Download a Failed Download "EVER" **BECAUSE IF YOU DO**, IT WILL MAKE ALL THE DOWNLOADS THAT YOU HAVE NOT STARTED IN YOUR LIST OF DOWNLOADS TO START "DISAPPEAR" AND YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM BACK # I Lost A List of over 100 downloads.
