Download Accelerator Plus!!!11

The free version runs banner ads but it works so well. Been using it for years and it is proper awesome once you learn a few tricks like googling for filenames to get more dappable mirrors. Itll turn most 10-20kb/s dls into linespeed dls. Awesome.

Netmeter plots dl and ul speeds and logs totals.

finddups compare 2 directories/drives and looks for duplicates which you can delete - saves tonnes of diskspace if youre a messy person.

It looks like weve finished adding to this thread for now, wonder if one of the mods can sticky it? :| Or create a sticked closed thread to link to it in future?

http://locate32.webhop.org/ - Locate, its like windows search but once you update the database the search results are instant.

Windows Enabler - it lets you select greyed out options in windows, like if you wanted to format a usb stick as a boot disk just enable Windows Enabler and click the greyed out "Create MS-DOS start up disk" box.
