Orbit Downloader is a download manager for Microsoft Windows. One of the main features of the program is its ability to grab and download embedded Flash Video files from sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, etc.[3] Orbit Downloader also accelerates downloads by acting as a peer-to-peer client, utilizing bandwidth of other users.
Orbit Downloader supports downloading from HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Metalink, RTSP, MMS and RTMP protocols. Orbit Downloader supports Internet Explorer, Maxthon, Mozilla Firefox and Opera web browsers.[3]
Orbit Downloader is an advertising-supported product since it may change the web browser's homepage upon installation and also offers to install software that are not critical for its operation.[2]

[edit] Bugs
Since version 4.0.0.10, the option to "Use server date/time for the downloaded file" does not work.[4] This means the downloaded files will not retain the last modified date/time from server. Instead, the downloaded files' date/time will be changed to the current date/time. As of version 4.1.0.2, the issue still remains. The last working version was 4.0.0.9.[5]
