Extract text from Orbit download lists (OLT)
To convert OLT download lists to another format, you need Orbit Downloader or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Download Manager List" file type, you need software like Orbit Downloader or a similar tool.
The .OLT file extension is a proprietary data format used by Orbit Downloader to save a list of pending, completed, or paused downloads. These files store critical metadata, including source URLs, file sizes, local destination paths, and current download progress.
Opening an .OLT file natively is highly problematic today. Orbit Downloader is an obsolete, discontinued software that was exposed in 2013 for containing a hidden DDoS botnet module. Consequently, it is actively blocked by Microsoft Defender and nearly all modern security software. Installing the original application to access your download list is a severe security risk. Furthermore, the format is proprietary and undocumented, meaning modern, safe download managers like Internet Download Manager or Free Download Manager cannot import .OLT files natively.
Users primarily need to convert .OLT files to recover the trapped URLs. The best target formats are standard TXT, XML, or CSV. Extracting the links into plain text allows you to safely paste the URLs into a modern download manager.
Standard online converters fail to process this file because it is a closed, proprietary, and obsolete data structure. Even though it is a difficult format, our analysis can often inspect the file and extract the raw, embedded text URLs, allowing you to bypass the need for the original malware-flagged software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your OLT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted OLTS, OB!, GAL and DCK files.
If you want to convert OLT file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use Orbit Downloader or similar software from the "Download Queue Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to OLT, try Orbit Downloader or another comparable tool in the "Download Queue Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our OLT converter.
