It has (most of) the features and functions I wanted, runs smoothly and nice integration with IE, and SlimBrowser. Best downloader I have found and only one I have kept for the IE platform. It is a bit rude in that it tries to put itself in the startup menu on every run (regardless of options setting), as far as I can tell. Not terrible, but not necessary either (I use the right click menu in IE/SlimBrowser to invoke, so I don't need a tray icon.

I've been using/trying it for a couple of weeks now,because FDM, which I've been using for over a year.too often, tells me "Issuer does not support Resume of downloads" after I might have downloaded a good portion of an application. They just about never tell you in advance,that this might be so! I'm on Dialup, and this got to be very frustrating. Orbit,on the other hand has not done this,in 3 of the 4 apps I tried downloading with FDM, it worked flawlessly. So far, I'm very happy with Orbit. Recommended.

It's fast, and the interface is user friendly, but if I want a downloaded file to be renamed, I want to rename it myself rather than letting the app choose the name it wants. This would download manager be perfect if it would allow you to choose what you want to rename a file to. Is anybody listening? If you don't mind the extra hassle and extra steps required to rename the file after it is downloaded, then this is the download manager for you; it's better than the rest. But if you want more control over where the file is downloaded to and what name you want to give it should a file of the same name exist in the download location, then it's not. I have used Fresh Download for years because it offers this option whereas most other download managers do not.

None of this 'This site not supported' nonsense with Orbit. Does a great job of downloading all flash and swf and any kind of media on a web page. THANKS! Nothing more frustrating than a half-a-s program that doesn't delver. Orbit delivers

Finally a download-manager that eventually compelled me to switch over from Star Downloader. It must be in the arsenal of those who are constantly downloading stuff from the internet.

I don't know how it does it, but my wireless downloads are definitely faster {alot}. If your using wireless, it's definitely worth a try.
