GBFree 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.

GBeasy 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.

GBSimple 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.

DESimple but effective is a nice software download website that offers VLC Media Player for free and it’s easy to use and packed with some useful software details.The compact layout of the website makes it simple to navigate and to download the software. However, because of the nature of the content, it doesn't quite compare with the top sites in this category. There's also an installation manager that manages the entire installation process of your software from start to finish and additional toolbars that you may install during a download process. Before downloading VLC Media Player , a widely spread software program, you can read some details about it, like features and support formats, and you are presented with a screenshot of the program interface. The only downside is lack of information about the VLC Media Player .

KEFinally, a VLC player that works!! My older brother (computer geek) usually makes sure the home computer is updated and has the latest software. For the most part I wouldn’t bother with updating software, until he went to college. Then I was on my own. I survived for a while, until the version of VLC Media Player I had a bug, and it constantly crashed during playback. My brother wasn’t around anymore; it was time to grow up. The first few sites I tried that claimed to have the “latest VLC player” turned out to be a bust. Then I stumbled upon downloadster.org. Clean site, no annoying advertisements, good overview on the software, and very helpful reviews. Plus, they regularly update their software, and illuminate important changes to new versions. Suffice to say, my current version of VLC Media Player works smooth, and I’m able to play any format of music. Kudos downloadster.org!
