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 2.8.10
Pros: I can download all types of things.
Cons: It would be nice if it where posible to pre-input my destination drive.
AND if an automatic 'open' could be used to 'unzip',' install', etc. All the way to the FINISH/RUN. That would be so nice!Summary: When I 'download', I need to wait for the menu to ask my destination drive. Then I need to wait to click 'open'/or later on open orbit, then cliock open. I am glad that this is so easy.

Version: Orbit Downloader 2.8.10
Pros: what pros? it downloaded everything but the content I wanted.
Cons: it integrates into the browser, and when you right click anything with a link it wants to grab it
Summary: Doesn't work as advertised, or at least not easily. I wanted a simple flash audio stream, but it would only get the ad line preceding the content I wanted.
