Editor's review of Orbit Downloader 2.7.6
4.0 stars
- "Download en masse"
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 2.7.6
"Fast, simple and easy to use."
Pros: Clean simple interface - obvious menus, so you can easily see at a glance what to do and where things are.
Cons: It's a pity that the integration doesn't work with FireFox or SeaMonkey - both of which are much better browsers than IE.
Summary: I don't say it couldn't be improved, but for ease of of use I give it 7 out of 10 - it would get more if the FireFox and SeaMonkey integration worked.

Version: Orbit Downloader 2.7.6
"Good program bt corrupts downloads when they are paused"
Pros: Very easy to use and the grab++ feature is very useful to grab things from websites. It really does increases the download speed. Much faster than using Firefox to download files
Cons: Needs to support increase connection limit for windows xp service pack 3 not just service pack 2. If you pause your download most of the time it will corrupt and you get CRC errors. Very annoying with large file sizes when you have to restart.
Summary: The best free downloading program out
