It is NOT an online wallet.

It's a lightweight client, and it works like a charm. There is a function to encrypt your private keys, so it's safe (you should not keep bigger amounts in there anyway).

Base on my experience Multibit bitcoin wallet is safe and secure. I've been using it on for a couple of months now without any problem.

There are other wallets that don't download the blockchain like Electrum.

You could always get a online wallet like blockchain.info. That doesn't download the bc either.

It's been working alright for me. Or you could,as suggested,use the blockchain.info wallet. Nothing's lost even if your hard drive fails or something.

Where would you keep larger amounts?

@ OP I use multibit and am happy with it.

In an offline wallet! Or maybe even on a paper wallet.

Agree.
Offline / Paper wallet is probably the best way to store a large amount of bitcoin. Smiley

Paper wallets are very easy to set up using bit address.

Multibit is good; used it for a while, very comfortable and easy to use.
