    The program was no longer updated since January 2014 (version 4.1.1.19) and the official website is no longer available.

    Warning

    Orbit Downloader is a Download Manager for Windows with special focus on downloading content from social media websites like Myspace, YouTube, Imeem, Pandora and Rapidshare. In addition it provides generic means to download media content from Flash based media players via its GetIt-Button and GrabIt++ tools.

    Like most other download managers it integrates into all standard web-browsers and accelerates file downloads by opening multiple connections to the server in parallel.

    Orbit Downloader is small in size and resource-friendly.

    It supports a scheduler, limiting download bandwidth, Anti-Virus integration, Proxy server configuration, and extended download acceleration via its P2P-based Orbitnet.

    As of version 4.0, Orbit introduced a new 'Software Updater' componentThe component will scan your PC for installed software, report the list to the server and present a list of most recent versions. Furthermore it offers community features that allow to rate applications and write reviews, comments and ask questions via recipester.org.

    I'm reading it now!

    Not only it contains, as explicitly stated, the adware OpenCandy, but ESET says in this article that, in versions 4.1.1.14 and 4.1.1.15 released on December 2012, the file orbitdm.exe was added to Orbit Downloader: it downloads from Orbit servers a DLL library which gets a list of websites against which launch DDoS attacks!

    About that Software Updater, it's not that hard at all to remove it. Just delete "SoftUpdater.dll" in the folder where you install Orbit Downloader but do it while Orbit isn't running and relaunch the program. You'll see the software updater is now gone from Orbit Downloader

    Not only manages downloads, but in some way makes them way quicker than normal. Highly recommended, despite the updater that you cannot get rid of.

    I like that updater, but still lack of accuracy. =_="

    Has some quirks, but for those of us looking for a somewhat portable app, this compared to FDM leaves less traces in the registry.

    Newest update really pushes Internet Explorer. IE is integrated into the operating system and presents numerous security flaws. Do Not Use Internet Explorer. Get Firefox of Google Chrome.
