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.

Simple and Straight-forward Downloading Stumbled upon this site when I was googling for an alternative to Adobe’s PDF reader. I was quite hesitant at first since a quick glance at the site suggests another barrage of those pesky surveys to fill-up. Surprisingly enough, there were no surveys to fill up when I download the program (TidyView). The experience was pretty smooth and straight-forward: you download an install manager (compliant with the developers’ request) and it’s pretty much automatic from there. No registrations needed. There are several other open-source programs that are up for free download, too. What some may miss is a search function since all the programs are at the foot of the page. This isn’t exactly a deal-breaker, but it is quite cumbersome to not download programs the way we’re all used to. The site’s design is clear but flawed- when you click on the program, the site apparently adapts the program’s theme/color scheme which feels pretty inconsistent and somehow cheapens the overall experience. Nothing huge but worth noting, anyway. With its simple design, Downloadster.org does one service and fortunately does it well without the red-tape.

Downloadster.org even worked with my smart phone yes! Downloadster.org immediately caught my eye seeing as their homepage featured software programs and products that I use very frequently. VLC player is a great media player for video or audio. Personally I downloaded it to use it in assisting me with my transcriptions as its one of the few who let you control the speed of what you are hearing just by pressing the plus and minus keys. What was really useful for me was being able to install the VLC media player on my phone because I was traveling and missing a lot of my favorite TV shows and my great smart phone just wouldn’t play them, until I installed VLC player and I haven’t had any problems since. The other thing I find useful from downloadster.org was just an optional toolbar, which I usually find to be a really annoying add on, but this one is practical and neat in its appearance. This site was safe for downloading something I really needed but didn’t want to have to shell out money for so THANK YOU for this free download of my most reliable media player!

Full of additional PUP Virus software Install VLC software through Downloadster and you also end up with a load of other crap that hijacks your browser forcing you to use yahoo search on new tabs on all browsers. Installing a horrible toolbar on IE and disables IE Options from being able to remove it. I was very careful to untick all boxes that could lead to extra bits being installed but the install process didn't tell me about this crap. Really annoyed! I finally managed to get rid of it but it wasn't obvious. If you're wondering how, press the Windows key and "E" together and then select Uninstall or Change a Program. Near the bottom of the list you should find somehting called "Linkrub" or something like it. You have to tell it to remove this ...crap! several times before it actually goes. Probably a good idea to run an Adware removal tool afterwards too. Best advice is stay well clear of this site if you want to keep control of your own machine. I don't care about letting Downloadster know about my review either Hate hackers like these

Best sofware for video. Looking and scanning through this site, I find this software very helpful especially to those video enthusiasts or those who find recreations in watching videos. This software is worth buying for because it is all-in-one. Anyone can enjoy not only videos, but as wel as audio files. Even movies from DVDs or even from you Flash can be played in this software. It plays most of the media codecs thus, it is so powerful. What's even more amazing is that is is FREE! Its adjustability is also a good thing for me since through it, there'll be no hard time in adjusting it whichever way you want it. For me, this is one of the best downloads because it has a lot more to offer. One can easily see how many formats it can support.
