Of all the download managers I’ve used, Free Download Manager (FDM) is my favorite mostly because of its simplicity. But if you want to download embedded video files or any other web 2.0 content I recommend you give Orbit Downloader a go. In addition to handling normal FTP and HTTP downloads, Orbit Downloader is capable of downloading video/music/streaming media from sites such as Myspace, YouTube, Imeem, Pandora,Rapidshare and countless others (see below for full list) including those that use anti-leeching technology to prevent file downloads. This software also supports downloading of content that uses RTMP protocol (a multimedia streaming and RPC protocol) which enables downloading of Adobe Flash video and Microsoft Silverlight content possible. Orbit Downloader supports all major browsers such as IE, Firefox, Maxthon, Opera, etc.
As you can see, the main advantage of Orbit Downloader is that you won’t have to install a dozen 3rd party software to download files from various sites (I.E.- YouTubeGet for YouTube, RapGet for RapidShare etc). Check it out – it’s completely free and does not come with any spyware or adware embedded.
