I'm hoping that people will respond to this, but if not at least I have successfully put off finishing my research...
I'm hoping people will post all of your favorite applications in this thread, thereby exposing everyone to programs they might not have realized they can't live without. Post the apps that you have permanently on cd; those that you absolutely have to back-up before reformatting. Basically anything that you think is an incredibly useful program.
It doesn't have to be a long list, but just submitting the names of a couple programs you really like would likely be a great help to everyone. Downloading new programs is one of my favorite ways to waste time, and with suggestions from this thread maybe I won't be subsequently uninstalling everything I download.
I'm not a newbie, but my knowledge isn't very extensive. Here are a couple of my favorite apps to start the list (which I sincerely hope doesn't end with my ideas...)
--Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc) - its purty
--Popupcop (http://www.popupcop.com) - lots n lots of features and leaps and bounds more intelligent than any popup stopper I've used (which I think includes all of them).
--IsoBuster (http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/) - useful only if you download a whole bunch of ISOs.
--Easy CD-DA Extractor (http://www.poikosoft.com/) - rips CDs to the highest quality mp3s so fast at first I thought it wasn't actually converting to mp3.
--BSPlayer (http://bsplayer.cjb.net/) - The best video media (divx, svcd, etc) player. Uses a fraction of the resources most do but supports the most amount of formats. Also great subtitle support.
--DC++ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dcplusplus/) - Alright some hubs don't accept it, but another program thats light on resources, high on funcionality.
--Audiogalaxy (http://home.hetnet.nl/~cpjraats/agsatellite.html) - Not the spyware laden version, but this one, which is also more functional.
--Winamp and Nero - Not real unique but they're my favorite of their types.
That's what I can think of right now, please share with us and add to the list!!
P.S. Forgive me if there has already been a thread similar to this one. I don't think there has been recently...
