Review

Orbit Downloader makes it easy to download lots of files, but it's not really worth all of the junkware it packages with it. There are almost a half-dozen different programs and toolbars this download will try to add. Even the program, itself, is riddled with ads for other programs you don't want. The small boost in features isn't enough to justify this download.

This program throws more junk programs at you during the install than you could ever count. Even if you opt out of all of them, one or two will still randomly start installing themselves in the middle of the download. When it's done downloading all of those, Orbit Downloader will help you download other files. Downloads are a little faster than just using your browser, which is nice on slower connections. However, its bulk download support isn't better than what comes standard in Firefox and some other browsers. One nice add-on is the "Get It" button for easily downloading media files. That doesn't work in all browsers, though. It's nice that the program checks for program updates, but it was wrong more often than not. It often reported no need for updates when updates for the programs in question could be easily found online.

There doesn't seem to be any pressing need for a download like this. If you really need a program to manage your downloads, look at Download Accelerator or Free Download Manager. They'll all come with more speed and less junk than Orbit Downloader.

    I have been using Orbit Downloader for a few months now and I must say it's one of the best download managers I have ever used. It's super fast and the user interface is very intuitive.

    I tried using Orbit Downloader, but I had a really bad experience with it. The download speed was incredibly slow, and it crashed multiple times. I had to switch to a different download manager.

    That's strange, David. I've never faced any speed or crashing issues with Orbit Downloader. Are you sure it wasn't a problem with your internet connection or some other conflicting software?

    I'm pretty confident it wasn't my internet connection or any other software causing the issues. I tried it on a clean system as well and the problems persisted. Maybe it just didn't work well with my specific setup.

    The user interface of Orbit Downloader is very outdated and clunky. I feel like it could use a major redesign to improve the overall user experience.

    I can understand your point, Daniel. The interface does feel a bit outdated, but for me, the functionality and performance matter more. As long as it gets the job done efficiently, I'm satisfied.

    I agree with Emily. While a modern interface would be nice, I'm more concerned about the actual downloading process. As long as it's fast and reliable, I can overlook the UI.

    Orbit Downloader has a great feature set, but I wish it had better integration with browsers. It doesn't always capture download links automatically, which can be a bit cumbersome.

    I haven't experienced any problems with link capturing in Orbit Downloader. It usually detects the download links automatically for me. Maybe there's some browser-specific issue causing the problem.

    Orbit Downloader is decent for basic downloading needs, but it lacks advanced features like scheduling downloads or bandwidth control. If you need those, look elsewhere.

    Orbit Downloader's ad-supported model is common for many free software. It's a trade-off for getting certain features for free. But I wish the ads were less intrusive.
