CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on November 06, 2008
Downloading videos, Flash games, and large batches of files is greatly simplified with this freeware download manager, but Firefox 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 2.8.7
"this is better than some I have used"
Pros: Its fast, stays out of the way when not in use. So far iy hasn't tried to get me to buy anything. unlike other ones out there like DAP and it seems to faster and smaller. I like that a little window pops up in the corner and says it's done
Cons: The toolbar that came with it slowed down my browser but I disabled that.
Summary: I think this is the downloader I'm gonna use for now on it's not anoying trying to get me to download other software or buy the "full" version
