Bundled with adware Hash (authentification) codes for VLC don't match up with the real site; downloaded from this site out of curiosity and had the headache of removing all the other annoying programs that came with it.

Free applications in one place Downloadster is a one stop shop for your basic PC needs. The interface is bright and well designed, and the software provided is all free and from reputable companies (7zip, Openoffice, VLC, etc). The site is a little hard to navigate, just in that it defaulted to VLC media player, and you don’t see the other software options unless you page all the way down to the bottom, and then they are just single text entries, rather than a button, so some users might miss them. Other than that, Downloadster has a great selection of free software. The software in question also covers all of the standard needs that a Windows user might have. These apps also tend to be the recognized standards for whatever particular use they are intended for. It is rather nice to have all of these applications in a single location, free of viruses, and not have to search all over the web.

easy to use and download media player Downloadster.org is a great site that is useful if you need a media player upgrade. One of the best things about this site is that it is very easy to download the program and get started almost immediately. The instructions are simple and the memory space needed to download the program is comparable with other, less universal media players. This player is better than most others as it plays virtually any type of file that you need and allows you to edit and adjust your videos in any way that you please. These options can be really useful for home videographers and those with small business ventures as well. One drawback of this download is the other toolbars that are simply lumped into the download of the program. Although you can deselect the option to download it, many times I forget to do that when downloading a program and end up using valuable memory space that I don’t need to use. All in all, just deselect the optionary toolbar, if you don’t need it, and all will be well. Definitely a useful and wonderful program.

Easy download and nice site. The VLC media player was a nice download to find. To start off with, the download page didn’t look shady. I am careful about downloading anything onto my computer, but this looked legit. I liked that it was able to play any file. I have had some music or video files that I wanted to listen to or view and couldn’t on the software I had before. Another cool thing was that while viewing I can adjust the settings. I can be watching a video and do things, like adding in text or adjusting the color. This was a new concept to me. The VLC also allows you to convert 1 file type to another. This is a great tool for those with MP3 players or Ipods. I have had so many music files in the past that I was not able to transfer over because I got a new MP3 or music player. The download process itself was pretty simple, just the usual click and go scenario. It took me about 3 minutes, but if you have a good internet connection it will be much faster.

Simple to use site - free downloads on tap I came across Downloadster.org looking for a site to get hold of the VLC media player I'd read about. The first page I clicked to from Google was the download page for just that player. Super easy, no mucking about. The player is free to download as advertised, no nasty surprises. The process itself is easy - it only took a few minutes to complete if that - and I was up watching my videos moments later. The interface is simple and intuitive, but if you want something more bespoke, you can add a skin to it and customize it yourself. The site isn't all that big. It focuses on providing free downloads of some of the key applications almost everybody uses. So, you can get hold of a PDF reader, the OpenOffice suite and an impressive compression application called 7zip, each from its own single download page. Navigation is really straightforward too - just scroll to the menu at the bottom of the site and you can basically get anywhere from there.
