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.

VCL player download made easy! I found this website very easy to navigate as the way it is set out is very user friendly. I found the site very bright and modern with an attracting front page. I liked the way it was broken down into easy to read and understand sections starting with the overview on the left. This gave me a brief idea of what video formats could be used with the VLC player download, This is expanded on below in the supported format section which gave me a comprehensive breakdown of all supported video and audio formats. On the right is a section that gives you the main features and abilities on the download. The VLC player itself was easy to access and to download and comes complete with helpful add ons such as toolbars for your computer. I found the “learn more” option at the top to be helpful as it allowed me to read more about the product before I did any actual downloading.

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.

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.

VLC Media Player Download My family and I just came back from vacation and wanted to watch the videos we recorded. We were really looking forward to it but our Windows Media Player kept on crashing. I did a quick search for other media players out there and discovered VLC Media Player. I did another search for the download and found Downloadster. It only offers this one software so I didn't have to do a lot of reading. I knew what I was looking for and quickly hit the "Free Download" button. My family watched our videos shortly after and the media player worked great. This site was just what I needed.
