Hey! havent been here in a while due to the fact below, and all of a sudden this chankast thing comes out, and i crap my pants, but that has nothing to with what im talkin about..

Harddrive and Motherboard crashed, should be coming back tomorrow, so now i lost EVERYTHING. what im most pissed off about is all my music (the mainstream will be gotten easily, but not the anime 0ST's and VGM), but my rom collection and PC games (warcraft and UT 04 especially ) are a close second. GOD I EISH I HAD AN EXTERNAL!!! well anyway can u guys help to jog my memory of the essential programs like winrar and divX such to make a huge spamming list of stuff, because i have two days of school and T1 left before i go back to crappy dialup, amd also a bad memory Itll be a crappy summer.....

A few:

 

WinZip

WinRAR

WinAmp or some other MP3 playback proggy.

A BitTorrent client (the official, ABC, Azureus...)

A DC++ client + some other P2P software (Kazaa Lite Resurrection, Shareaza...)

A messaging program (I use Trillian, but there are others too)

mIRC

A good firewall, like Tiny Personal Firewall, Zone Alarm etc.

A good virus scanner (AVG Anti-Virus, AntiVir for Windows, Norton, Panda)

A good ad/spyware remover (Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D)

A good image editor (Paint Shop Pro or GIMP)

An FTP client (FlashFXP etc.)

A burner program (if you have a burner drive that is)...CloneCD or Alcohol 120%

 

That's about it...Please add more.

Well Agozer pretty much covered it. This is all that I can think of to add to that:

 

- Daemon Tools (or some virtual drive thing)

- Folding@home (Team 36271 )

- Video codecs (DivX, Xvid, etc.)

- Pr0n

- Video codecs (DivX, Xvid, etc.)

and all those will be covered just by installing this. It covers many others too

All service packs and hotfixes.

Thanks, great list, although everything will have to wait because of Gryphons great suggestion. he made me realize, flock everything else, all you need is Pr0n!!

no really thanks, now about my music and roms....ON TO SPAM FTP's

(and every p2p ever made at once in the next two days)
