Fantastic list mate. I used most them above but I prefer FDM to DownThemAll.

@DLDUDE, Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into the apps you mentioned..

@V1, I’ll consider reviewing similar tools for the Mac soon. Feel free to suggest your ideas.

@Palin, Yeah Firefox 3 wont need Flashget, but it still is a good addon to keep IMHO..

I have been using some of these and agree these are must haves. Firefox 3 though doesn’t need Flashget anymore.

Nice list. I’d put limewire instead of utorrent (http://www.limewire.com), add InstallPad (kind of like download them all but also manages the install for you http://www.installpad.com), and add RadarSync (like FileHippo but does driver updates too http://www.radarsync.com)
