Orbit Downloader is developed to download music and video files from social sites such as YouTube, Myspace, Pandora or Lastfm. It supports almost all media protocol streaming, namely HTTP, FTP, HTTPS, RTSP, MMS as well as RTMP.
The setup is simple, almost inexistent. The installer is easy to use and easy to configure. From the preferences menu you can set locations, connections, acceleration and not only; you can also activate the antivirus to scan your links before downloading them, or set a scheduler. To download is even simpler. Everytime you run your mouse over a video for example, a "GET IT" button will appear; just click the button and the program will start to download.
Orbit Downloader integrates a Software Updater that analyses all your installed software and offers available updates. Sometimes, some features may not work properly, but you can choose to report bug and your problem will be solved.
Orbit Downloader is a light download manager that works fast, has a clear and easy to use interface and is a good alternative to FlashGet.
