WARNING. Orbit 4.1.1.16 Silently installs Toolbars & other Nasties and integrate itself autoamtically into ALL of your Browsers whether you ask it or not. I wasted hour and half cleaning my machine. Comodo FW warned me, but it bypassed my other Virus Tools. I used to love it ... not anymore.

The last version that worked perfectly for me was 4.1.0.9 but after that all versions have bugs as Grab is not opening to show the detectable media files in it as it freeze and becomes still for a long time

If the previous comment is anything to go by, shouldn't this application now be labelled spyware?

I'll be sticking with 2.7.4. Later versions never worked for me anyway.

The privacy policy could raise some concerns unless you don't mind a list of all your downloads being archived:

"The Orbit Downloader automatically sends only standard, limited information to OrbitDownloader.com, which may be retained in Orbit Downloader's server logs.
...
If you use Orbit Downloader to download files, then Orbit Downloader will send the log information and additional information, such as the URLs you download, the page you download from ...
... your copy of Orbit Downloader includes a unique application number. When you install Orbit Downloader, this number and a message indicating whether the installation succeeded are sent back to OrbitDownloader.com. Also, when Orbit Downloader ... downloads a file, the current version number and the unique application number are sent to OrbitDownloader.com. The unique application number is required for Orbit Downloader to work and cannot be disabled."

It seems to be fairly intuitive.. not to difficult to get around, though I do agree with other commentators here that you will probably need to download 2 or 3 programs to cover all of your downloading needs... speaking of which, can anyone tell me what will capture MY SPACE *.swf (shockwave flash) files, such as music MP3s?

Too bad this much admired tool did not work for me. It failed to get the flash stream just like the rest of the pack except the replay media catcher demo version i tried( not replay a/v). Worse still, it stole my home page and changed it point to its own web site. Now that is rude!

Orbit worked for me to get the flash behind RMTP where practically every other application like Repaly AV, vdownloader, riptiger failed.

Impressive.

Orbit works for me on about 2/3 of the files I go after. (There can be some variations or improvements, from version to version, so best to follow the changelog and remain fairly current.) And that may be about the best one can reasonably expect. While I haven't gotten around to trying many of the others yet (SDP, Vdownloader, Net Transport, etc.), my strong impression is that *no single one* of these things is going to solve all your problems . . . which is probably why several of them should be available in one's toolkit. Example: the other day I wanted to grab an embedded flv clip that streamed out via HTTP. Orbit can't detect it, even URLsnooper could not uncover where it really lives. Obviously, the site does not want us to be able to download it. I think it's very possible that Replay or one of the others could get it, though. Get _that_ one, and fail to get a number of other kinds. But I doubt that any of these is going to be a "universal grabber" that just will not be denied.

I tried SDP multimedia and Vdownloader but couldn't get it to work from the website I was trying to download but Orbit was a breeze. I love the application

OK, since this tool has gone through a few revisions since I last tried it and found it frustrating to use and unreliable, especially in Opera, I figured I would now give it another shot.
I am extremely happy with Orbit now. I don't know if the program improved greatly or I had a moment of clarity and figured it out, but I have to say it works GREAT with Opera now. Ease of use and reliability or excellent! I will recommend it to others.

Finally a web video grabber that actually works. Even with a 6 Mbit DSL connection a lot of video gets "buffered" and the stuttering gets annoying. I also prefer watching things on my TV and with this I can download, convert and burn to DVD (using other software available here) very easily. Great job.
Only complaint is I would like to have more options as to what I use it for when it comes to using it as an overall download manager.

Have been trying to use this program for about 2 days now with little success and lots of frustration. Am trying to download some flv files. Have tried it with You Tube, Daily Motion, Live and some others. Can't get it to d/l anything in my browser of choice; Opera and have had limited sucess with IE7. WOrst of all is it hijacks that files like mpegs and wmvs that Opera loads natively and starts to download them without giving me a choice. I have better success with Keepvid. Shame, this software sounds promising but doesn't deliver and furthermore is very annoying.

I'm a 57 year old guy, who operates computers since they were powered by coal and vapour, and have tested most of the download managers at our disposal. After DAP, IDM, Flashget, FDM, and tons of others alike, I say that Orbit is THE software. And surprisingly FREE. No nags, no adware, no spyware, no toolbars. Today I am proud of giving Orbit an oportunity to show its qualities. I live in Brazil, I don't have relatives working or depending on Orbit success.
