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.

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 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 .

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.

Very Cool Super no worries
