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 2.7.1
"Very Good! (Doesn't seem to be integrating with Opera)"
Pros: This version is much better than it's previous ones.
A perfect way to download all those videos from those video-hosting websites - without the worries of malware.
The speed is fine. Really can't complain too much.
Integrates with IE 7 with no issue.
Cons: I'm having an issue integrating that with Opera Browser 9.5
I checked the box to integrate with Opera, and I restarted the browser. Then I opened the "Grab ++" feature right before I clicked on the YouTube video. I didn't see a "Grab It" button or whatever that button was that pops up on the YouTube video like what I saw in IE.

Version: Orbit Downloader 2.7.1
"A great free program to download flash!"
Pros: I use this software when my Firefox video extension won't download a flash file.
Orbit Downloader captures the stream of the flash video with Grab++ which is located in the tools menu of the program.
A great way to rip streaming flash of a website.
Cons: It does not work with all flash streaming.
