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.
