mIRC is a really kewl chat client - talk to people overseas, relatives or maybe the person next door. Here's the official mIRC homepage. Find me on OzOrg as SparKy.
ICQ 
(Mirabilis Homepage) 
ICQ is an online/offline list that lets you talk and send files to your friends when they're online.  It has over 11 million users and is rapidly growing!
 
CuteFTP
A really good FTP program that makes downloading/uploading easier
 
Netscape/
Internet Explorer 
 The two most popular browsers. I use IE (4.0) more, because of all the desktop things.. but Netscape is more user-friendly.
  •  Netscape Communicator 4.5
  • Internet Explorer beta5

    Getright
    Is supposed to help download things and resume automatically, but I don't use it (although I do have it on my computer) 
     
    Netmedic
    (Vitalsigns)
    Netmedic is very useful - it tells you the speed you're opening pages, helps you solve problems with your connection, and has averages per month/session.
     
    TetriNET
    Ok, this isn't really an app... but it's an extremely good game, and I advise you all to get it - gimme a game some day =)

    Gimme gimme!

    If you like free things, then you'll like TheFreeSite.  It has everything from screensavers to completely free guestbooks for your homepage.
     
    ZDNet
    (Australian site here)
     ZDNet has a nice mix of most popular programs.  The Australian site is particularly quick and saves waiting for the American one to load up.
