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.

"Contains Win32/MonitorPowerSpy, a keyboard monitor."
Pros: None. I ran straight away.
Cons: Such types of code should be mentioned upfront. Persons not having anti-spyware installed never know these things.
Summary: Like your Privacy? Run away from this (potential) threat. Install Ad-aware!

Version: Orbit Downloader 2.8.15
"Excellent for downloading YouTube videos"
Pros: Free, Easy to install and use. It does what it says
Cons: It dosent appear to increase the download speed.
Summary: I find this software to be convenient software for managing multiple downloads and easy way to download YouTube videos. But compare to IDM (Internet Download Manager) it doesn't even get close on speeding up downloads
