But i like the list, althought i'm surprised you didn't list Avast, its pretty much the standard for free antivirus. Also, PowerISO does quite a lot of good when it comes to iso's. I use it to play SC, because i'm too cheap to go buy a disc. why are you so angry? | ||

The version I posted is from another developer who took the source code of X-Chat and is publishing it for free. It's legal because the official shareware version is still opensource and licensed under GPL. | ||

EDIT - To make this post have more relevance to the thread, I personally use Spyware Doctor via google pack for spyware. Adaware has been a bit annoying for me for some reason or another. Only briefly skimmed the thread though, so don't mind if others have mentioned it. White_box921, pretty much everything can play flac. Probably just needs you to download an additional extension or something, but nothing a quick google can't solve. Assuming that you mean just a flac individual file anyway. Flac+Cue is a bit weirder, but the majority of the standard players should be able to handle it anyway. As of late I've been using a mix of Foobar (audio) and zoom/MPC (video). | ||

It's a great program, with a lot of commandline options that could fit anyone's needs. http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/ X-Treme G Video Drivers (for Nvidia and ATI) Replaces: official Nvidia and ATI drivers Great for those who want the absolute best performance from their GPU. Performance won't soar like mad, but the benchmarks show some nice advantages over the official drivers. These are updated very often, so there's not much worry about missing out on any features from the official drivers. http://www.tweakforce.com/ Hmm. Thanks! I will try these. Deluge (BitTorent Client) Replaces: your current BitTorrent client I believe this is the most lightweight BT client out there. It's not bloated with features like Azureus/Vuze, and isn't completely naked like BitTornado. Try it out. http://deluge-torrent.org/ Unsure, but isn't Halite the most lightweight torrent client(with features)? | ||

Now to wait for random Chinese nationals busting in with BitComet being the best client evar (No offense, but the padding files annoys the heck out of me and has essentially no use to most foreign users) | ||

Yeah, I just realized Deluge loaded python libraries and took up way more memory than even Azureus. I replaced Deluge in my post with XBT. It's a really light program, only having features that most people would need configure. But I'll have to try that Halite client sometime.  Torrent clients are mostly preference. I personally prefer programs that use a minimal amount of memory, so XBT is my current favorite.  | ||

It's all abotu how lightweight and easy to set up. | ||

There aren't all that much you can stuff on torrent clients anyway, to the point that all that I personally could do would be to complain about ones with odd features like BitComet. The small amount of features makes the differences miniscule. I suppose it is nice to toss out a few alternatives to such clients, but the differences between the rest are really nothing to bicker over. | ||
