Downloading videos, Flash games, and large batches of files is greatly simplified with Orbit Downloader manager, but it's been known to give Firefox users headaches.
Orbit's 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. It uses a bare minimum of memory, and downloads are much faster than with a browser alone.
Although designed to integrate with the IE, Firefox, Opera, and Maxthon, we had great difficulty getting it to work seamlessly with Firefox. Despite this, for mass downloading, Orbit Downloader is definitely worth a look.
