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).
