Programs you can't live without

[Tharp Daddy]

What are some programs you could never live without on your computer?

My list:

Ditto (http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/)

This awesome program stores everything i have copied so if i need it again, i can just go into the list and double click it, and it will be the active Control + V paste.

DvD Decrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/) + Auto GK (http://www.autogk.me.uk/)

This is a great combination for ripping the video off the DVD, for storing on a external harddrive and playback later. Just rip it out with Dvd Decrypter, then use Auto GK to convert it to Avi.

Firefox

For the obvious reason, my favorite web browser, while slower then say.. google chrome, the addons is what keeps me on it.

BitChe(http://convivea.com/product.php?id=2) + uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/)

Bitche is a program that searches all the torrent sites for you, giving you a list of the best seeded torrent files, and then it will automatically open your chosen torrent in uTorrent.

Not to necro the thread but i have a new one i have to share

Spacemonger

Old program but such a life saver - i was down to around 16 gig and i used this program. It displays your hard drive in a visual style as to show what exact files/folders/programs are taking up the most room; i found old files hidden on my computer taking up 20 gig + so now i'm up to around 169 gig free.

Also, now replacing iTunes for me.. Zune!

Also Kodak Media Impression - this allows me to plug in my vid camera and it Immediately imports my videos and pictures and gives me the option to load them to Youtube, Facebook, photobucket and other such sites straight from the program - i love it.
