Whilst not actually being a bit of software, Source Forge is always a good place to find some wonderful open source software:

True. But not legally. Seriously, 7-zip is better anyway.

Not totally free, but limited trial free period shareware...

data recovery utility: Handy Recovery - Recover files accidentally deleted on MS Windows. Partition Recovery.

Free download and lets you scan and restore 1 file per 24 hrs.
Worth using to see if the "lost" data can be restored before investing any pennies. Licence copy is only about £20 and worth it if you lose those holiday snaps.

DVD region and copy protection removal tool
AnyDVD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
shareware version lasts 21 days.
Enables playback without region restriction and copy protection, which prevents some media being played on a PC.


Gosh, there's lots of FREE stuff here!!!!!

Deepburner - CD and DVD burning software which can do iso images too.

Alcohol 52% - Virtual drive allowing you to mount a disc image form your hard drive.

uTorrent - for downloading torrents

Trillian Basic - Great if you are fed up of MSN crashing, also works with AIM, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC and with plugins it deals with checking gmail as well as other pop3 email accounts, rss and various other stuff. I think you can also get a Skype plugin too.

I'm a fan of Download.com for sourcing free software, you can choose your operating system and whether you want free software, trial or any software.
