Product Type: Other
Manufacturer:  Orbit
Orbit is a web 2 (such as multiply ) downloader with very nice capabilities , p2p support (??? Did not find anything about peers ) with multithread capabilities and is freeware too. It can be found on http://www.orbitdownloader.com/index.htm


It has two nice capabilities:
-using as a common downloader. Entering the address it can download the files directly. The advanced options seem also important as they determine the program’s behavior with multi threads , the data it collected from the browser and the possible mirror sites. The maximum connection are 10 and I have set it to its default number of 8
-its nice plug-in grab++ . it is referred as a 'sniffer' and acts as address grabber that can grab flash, video and 'music'
This plug in is the strongest part of this program. Starting this plug in before looking at your favorite pages for videos , you have to play the video in order to find the correct address .
Once found , the main program takes to job to download the file(s)

IN the prefenreces box there is also the thread level adjustment per site. Although in most sites it works, I did not managed to adjust it for Multiply

Integrating with Firefox it shows its fullest strength even little better than IE : The program shows its logo on the mouse’s right click with 3 selections : grab file , multi file grabber and grab video
As multiple file grabber , it shows a dialog with all the files linked from the web page in reference and in advance marked/checked the files that are determined by the filters (MP3? PDF? )The advanced info dialog again shows the connection information
As video file grabber from Youtube , it parses a the linked web page , names by itself the flash video, then downloads the file

I have tested in many sites with these results with set for 8 threads :
Youtube : worked with 1 thread without resume option
Myspace : multithread with resume option
multiply! : 1 thread no resume
star online!!(malaysia) : ,multithread with resume

Rapidshare (yes it supports it, a process shown in their web page) :
1 thread , no resume for the free downloading
imeem : (a music and video site referred on orbit) : cannot be connected

Gumus a tv series with side effects ! Aug 6, '11 10:54 PM for everyone Category: Movies Genre: Drama Gumus (Nur) a series with strong side effects !! Gumus stands for silver in Turkish , but more accurate as the “silver rays of the moon” as someone told me . As yuo may understand I mean for a Turkish TV series which has been aired in the greek TV which I can describe best as a telenovela due to similarity with the maxican TV soap operas Also someone describes with the same name : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441924/usercomments Before I enter into the subject let me first tell you about the facts coming from the greek TVs: At first this series is 100 episodes of 1,5 hrs each . And played in the Tuekry for 3 seasons 2005- 2007 but I have no data onhow much it gained audience . This series has been aired first on prime time (2100LT )in the Macedonia TV a nationwide TV channel based in Thessalonica and for unknown reasons they suspended it and played in the sister chann

Baraem and commentary on .... (read inside !)

BARAEM Baraem is a children TV channel more particularly for preschool children with Arabic headquarters . IN a short check today I found that this channel is indeed part of al Jazeera and is aired via the 13E Hotbird satellite We used this TVchannel in order to get rid from the possibly ‘destructive’ influence of Winx (if any ) that could be caused with the ‘magics and spells’ and now this is our daughter’s favorite  TV channel (many times she asks for Baraem ) with slightly less interest in Star the nationwide TV channel and she watches it mostly on local afternoons 8 pm ie before she goes to night sleep . This is not exactly the reason to write this article but rather  for the reason you will see at near he end of it So please be patient ! IN this channel you will not watch Sponge Bob or Dora the explorer (though the latter is quite affiliated ) but are many other series possibly more interesting than them . . Since I do nt know Arabic (I am only intending to learn the
