I have found out that the add-ons I installed is not capable of downloading flash media in one step. It needs few more steps and the speed is horrible.
Enter Orbit downloader. Click on the link on the left to find out more and what other user says.
Here is my first impression, I only used it today and I find it very useful though it has some pros and cons as to what I observed. I listed it down as follows:
Pros:
- Download Speed:
- Flash format download
- Multi-format support
- FREE! Does this needs any explanation?
Orbit has a significantly faster download speed as compared to down them all (dTA). Perhaps it is due to the P2P algorithm where Orbit is based.
Orbit is capable of downloading flash streams formats, both audio and video.
It is capable of downloading a lot of formats.
Cons:
Orbit is a stand alone program which loads into the system memory at start-up. But you have an option to run it as needed (I did). For this program to work, you have to open the Grab++ window, and to get, you open the main program window. After your session you need to terminate the Orbit process to free up the used resources which is about ~8MB. The memory used is about average as compared to other windows programs.
I liked it better than dTA and video download helper combined.
Thats my take!
Thanks
