Eldon (or anyone with Orbit/Grab problems),
I’ve got (what appears to be) the same problem. Orbit downloader and Grab++ were working fine until last night. I had a virus (some Backdoor virus) which Microsoft Security Essentials did eventually catch (with my help….i.e. rebooting the computer and going to Windows Task Manager to kill the exe for Backdoor before it took control of my computer). However, ever since then Orbit Downloader and Grab++ haven’t worked. Grab++ looks like it’s gone blind. It doesn’t show that its monitoring anything! I did a successful Restore, but that didn’t help. I removed and reinstalled the same version of OrbDownloader and Grab that I had been working with, but that didn’t help. Did you get yours to work again?

This all started about 3 or 4 days ago. I had been using both the Grab-It and the Grab+++ for several years without a hitch and then suddenly, no URL found is poppint up on Grab-It and no URL are popping up in the Grab+++ window. Spent a good deal of time last night to no avail. Did a system restore to when it was working but without results. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both Windows and different editions of Orbit until I was blue in the face. Tried Firefox with Orbit, but that only froze me up on the home page.. I guess that I will just have to be satisfied with using Orbit on my lap top where both Grab-It and Grab+++ work fine with windows.

Well I went to the Grab++ window, clicked on Video, then went to the YouTube video and watched all 7 minutes of it….and nothing was every displayed in the Grab ++ window. The strange thing is that my lap top works fine with getting videos with both the Grab It and the Grab ++ . I’m running windows with both it and the offending Desktop. I even installed Firefox but was only able to open my home page with it…..couldn’t move to any other sites with Firefox until I uninstalled Orbit. I have not clue what’s going on.

For everyone who is wondering why you get no url found! when trying to download an you tube video here is the answer:
follow these steps when you want to download you tube videos:

1) Open the grab.exe file which is usually located at c:/program files(86x)/Orbit Downloader/Grab.exe (or) Tools -> Grab++ in orbit

2) Now a new window gets displayed with title Grab++

3) Click on ‘video’

4) Go to web page and play the video you want to download. In few seconds your video file gets displayed in the grab++ window.

5) Select the video and Click on the download button. Here we go….. its all done. You can see the download progress in the orbit window…

I’m now one of those who can use my internet browser after “attempting” to use Orbit. It shut down my browser and will no longer allow me to open it. I’m currently using a public computer as a result. Yeah, great program! Sure!

There is a lot to like about Orbit. Unfortunately, when it comes to downloading FLV’s, which is supposed to be Orbit’s specialty, it falls short. GetGo often succeeds where Orbit fails.

Everytime I start up grab ++, my internet closes. Why is this? Should I re-install?

Too complicated. I really do not have time to look for options that should by much simpler.

Hi All,

Orbit is functioning great for me too except ‘Resuming’ broken downloads. I don’t know why it just keeps on saying ‘wait for retry (5s)” and never resumes. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Orbit is the fastest download manager i’ve tried. i can download from rapidshare, youtube, pause/resume downlads even after restart of PC, etc, etc. only the Grab++ is not pulling any info. hope in next release will fix that. very happy with Orbit !!) Orbit + FlashGOT rocks!
running on vista + KIS 8.

I have a large file 1Gig and it stopped during the night. the portion i downloaded is still in my drive 700mb . if i try to resume it orbit will completely start the download again. there must be a way for orbit to find the original file in downloads and reume from 700mb.even if i start the download again it should find it? I am downloading a youload server. error is data does nt match on log. Got exams coming. and im sick of downloads breaking. please help

@ I: re Imeem downloads
Yes Orbit Downloader will download from Imeem if you’re using IE with Orbit’s Grab Pro module.
These programs will also download from Imeem:

Why the f**k does orbit leave a flashing blue grid stripe down the middle of the file?
