eMule is a filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network but offers more features than the standard client.BYE BYE...
HELLO...
I'm unhappy about the way the popular web photo-sharing software Gallery has turned into ugly bloatware, so I'm ditching it. The one I had installed on this site was about 60 MB, even though it only had a couple pictures uploaded to it. It took me about 15 minutes just to delete the files from the server. The interface is ugly and confusing as well. Good riddance.
Luckily, a replacement wasn't too hard to find. I went down the list of photo gallery software in Wikipedia and found one that has most of the features I want, yet is not too bloated or ugly. It is ZenPhoto, and it is a free download (free, as in GPL).
I've installed it on this site and uploaded a few test photos. Watch it action! Much nicer than Gallery!

SourceForge is the world's largest Open Source software development web site. It's also one of the best places to find free software that is free of advertisements and malware. In order to see what open source software can do for me, I installed each of the top 10 most downloaded projects (in the last week) onto my computer, then spent ten minutes exploring each.
eMule is a filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network but offers more features than the standard client.
My favorite peer-to-peer client for searching for and downloading files. It might take some tweaking, and many of the options can be quite technical, but once you get it working it can be extremely effective. If you want to browse files to download, try going to eMule ContentDB.
Best reason to download: searching for and downloading files of all types.
Ares Galaxy is a free open source file sharing program that enables users to share any digital file including images, audio, video, software, documents, etc.
Of the three peer-to-peer download clients in this top-ten list, I feel that Ares is the weakest. It can be very slow, unresponsive, and seemed to keep killing my internet connection. The chatroom features looked promising, but I couldn't connect to any of them. The only redeeming feature I found was the ability to search for torrents on the Bittorrent network.
Best reason to download: searching for and downloading files on the bittorrent network.
FileZilla is a fast FTP and SFTP client for Windows with a lot of features
FileZilla includes downloads for both an FTP client and an FTP server. I briefly tried the server, but it looked a little too involved to set up and use in just a few minutes. The FTP client however is extremely useful if you do a lot of web development by hand-coding (as I do).
Best reason to download: Uploading and downloading files by FTP
