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!

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.

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.

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.

Media player, nice product but needs a different layout To start, the layout of downloadster.org is okay. When I stumble on websites like this, I typically write them off as some sort of scam. There seems to be too much going on and I don’t usually like to waste my time. Because of this, I would recommend simplifying the downloadster.org website. It is a nice looking website, but I can see people like me being turned away when they’re used to scams for “free products” which really just turn out to be some sort of virus. This product is only for windows, so that imposes limitations. I would try to open up the product, as a lot of people my age are working on macs. However, the product itself is a very nice one. If we’re going off of that, I have no complaints. I know I have had issues in the past with wrong file types that will not play on my computer, and this product can help. It is able to play many different types of files, which is a great addition. It would be very nice for downloading a movie that may not be the typical file, and things of that sort.
