Downloads videos from the internet in one handy app

Orbit Downloader is a free application that allows you to download videos from many sites without the hassle of downloading many individual programs. If you do a quick Google search for “downloading YouTube Videos”, you’ll get hundreds of results, varying from applications, like YoutubeGet, to Web 2.0 sites, likes File2HD.com Unfortunately, those methods usually only work for YouTube and downloading from Dailymotion would be a whole other thing. That’s what makes Orbit Downloader so great! It’s compatible with HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RTSP, and MMS protocols, which allows Orbit Downloader to download virtually any video! The only big fault is that it misses support for the RTMP protocol, although Orbit Downloader says it well be available soon.

All in all, Orbit Downloader is a solid and free application that allows you to download a variety of video. As I always say, the best things in life are free. This is a great example because I just purchased YoutubeGet for $29.95 and it can only download Youtube videos. Yet with Orbit Downloader, I can download virtually anything and for free!

So, what are you waiting for? Download Orbit Downloader here!

How To Download Games For Free

EDIT: A friend mentioned that this can be time-consuming for the first time and that if you don’t understand some “technical” terms, you might not fully grasp the usually brief “readme” files. I thought that this link might help you guys too. It shows some basic problems and the staff is very accommodating in the comments section of that post.

This is going to be another one of our few P2P/Warez posts, second actually. I’ve compiled the data from the internet and have not actually downloaded any of these games. It’s illegal, no question about it. However, it has its uses. For example, you can “test run” a game before purchasing a legit copy. I don’t recommend you doing any more than that, as you are already treading into a risky area!

There are several different methods in downloading “cracked” video games. Note that this is one of the more time consuming methods as you have to download several, usually up to fifteen or so files. However, this is probably the safest method out there, so the extra effort is well worth it. I also recommend that you aren’t a complete noob and have some experience in following instructions. :-D

For this “guide”, I am going to use TotalGamersDownload as an example. Note that there are thousands of these types of websites out there, although this is probably one of the best ones out there. (Many “free” download websites are SCAMS, so be careful!) I’m only going to work with PC games today. I don’t know how to create console game rips, nor have I ever done it, so don’t ask me. All I know is that it involves modding your console: ripping it open, adding some “parts”, etc. You get the point.

So, visit TotalGamersDownload and select “Free PC Games” from the sidebar section, Labels. If you can’t do that, then forget it and don’t read on.

Click "Free PC Games".

Click "Free PC Games"

Now that you done that, select a game that you would like. We’ll use World War II: Tank Combat. Please note that we are giving you instructions to downloading games and we are not actually going to download any game, as it is clearly illegal. Sorry about the repetition, I’m just trying to make a point. :-)

Now, scroll down and find where all those files are.

Make sure your computer meets the requirements and then download the links. In this case, there are three.

Now, you’ll need Winrar. This, I have used. :-) Visit rarlab and download it. Once you have it, run the installer.

There will be no more pictures from now on as we didn’t download the game and we are compiling the steps from other resources.

Select all the files that you downloaded, all the “.rar” files should be blue, and then right-click. There should be an option that says “Extract Files”. Click on it and follow through with OK. If it asks for a password, type it in as given on TotalGamersDownload.

Once all the files are extracted, there should be installation instructions in a “readme” file. Every game should be slightly varying so I can’t give you much more detail then this. Just use your common sense and you’ll do fine!

That’s about it! Once again, I didn’t do this and can’t give you much further help. However, if isn’t related to the actual installation of the game, email us or leave a comment and we’ll do the best we can! I hope you don’t take advantage of this and start downloading content for free. :-) By the way, if this post is in anyway inaccurate, please leave a comment and we’ll gladly update this post!

How to download video from YouTube (without any software and $$$)

Well, here’s an easy and simple guide to downloading videos with NO software or $$$. The videos are in the MP4 format as well…perfect for an iPod!
