Re: What internet programs do you use, and why?
I use Firefox for my browsing, Gmail for my email, so that's technically Firefox again, and Pidgin for my MSNing/IRCing. I'm considering replacing Pidgin though, because it's a bit barebones and doesn't let me do simple little things like automagically identify myself and join #spaceempires when I connect.

Re: What internet programs do you use, and why?
Hmm, only allowed one choice in each group?
At home, I split between Safari and Firefox (primary computer is a Mac). I would use Firefox exclusively, but it has an annoying tendency to crash early and often. And there are a few sites that Safari doesn't render correctly. At work, I use Firefox for development, then test later on Firefox and Safari.
For email, personal email I use Gmail, and at work I use Eudora on one network and Thunderbird on another. That's the regular IT setup...
And chat... on the Mac I use Adium, which is (I believe) Pidgin ported and aqua-fied, and Colloquy for IRC. On PC, I use Trillian. And IM is technically not authorized at work, although there is a Jabber/XMMP module on the IDE we use, so we kinda could use it anyway. But we don't.

Re: What internet programs do you use, and why?
What do you do with Firefox when it says, "Fresh Download failed to takeover?" I get that a lot. For example it does it on PBW.

Work:
IE6, Outlook, and N/A, I can't seem to download any chat programs at work

I haven't had that come up before, and never had trouble with PBW - using FreeDownloadManager and the FlashGot firefox addon, although I think when you click a link its just firefox giving it to FDM, not using flashgot - but not sure I just click and it works  . If you want to try FlashGot, search the Firefox add-ons site for it - there's a link on the firefox add-ons popup you get from Tools menu\Add-ons. |

Re: What internet programs do you use, and why?
Win box (work):
Browser - Opera (long time zealot - since v.5).
Mail - The Bat (great filtering capabilities, virtual boxes, etc).
IM - QIP (small, not a bloated one, just works).
IRC - KVirc (functional and handy irc client, and free).
Downloader - Download Master (http/ftp) & µTorrent (best free programs in their class, imo).
Lin box (home):
Browser - Opera (see above).
Mail - Claws Mail (best mail 4 gtk+ env, besides Evolution and Tbird, which I don't like).
IM - Pidgin (best im 4 gtk+ env).
IRC - Xchat (guess what?, eah, same as above).
Downloader - D4X (http/ftp) & Deluge (torrent). (no real gtk+ alternatives).
