Oh man..where do I start?

Want a dedicated youtube client? Try Minitube
Need a office suite without paying for MS Office? Try LibreOffice (basically where all the openoffice devs)
Want a free image editor which has an appropriate name? Try GIMP
Need an image editor that isn't trying to be photoshop? Try Paint.net
Illustrator too expensive? Use Inkscape
Feel like having an OS within your OS? [url=www.virtualbox.org]Virtualbox[/url] is excellent
Wanna play around with sound files? Try Audacity
Need to manage your massive photo album of yourself in compromising positions? Use picasa
Got some weird compressed file that Windows can't deal with? Try the excellent 7Zip
Managing finances without paying anything? Homebank
Need to convert that DVD into something that you don't need a DVD player for? Handbrake is pretty good

There's pretty much a free (and usually open source) version around..

You probably won't believe me, VC, but you are one of the people who's post on this thread I've been waiting for. And while I have absolutely zero use for that program, I am not disappointed by your contribution in the least...that is one awesomely cool looking app!

Let me correct myself...looking at the screenshots, after a bit of thought, I might just have use of the storyboard function.

Because, in my opinion, based on little hints here and there over the years, you are one of the coolest people on here. So i just knew yours would be the coolest of apps.
If I were ever to visit the UK (yeah, I know you think it's a big place, but trust me it isn't), you'd probably be the person I'd most want to have a pint or two with.

Other than Harry...I want to get him drunk and take advantage of him..."Buggered the 3rd in line to the throne" would look really good on my resume.

Utorrent is a great lite torrent program. Demonoid and The Pirate Bay are great sites to download torrents.
For what it's worth, I prefer BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is a girls' program, Arpig. Utorrent is greatly superior.
