Great list, one change though - Ethereal changed to Wireshark.

Can we sticky this??

In spite of the glaring error caught by lbl and the fact that the list is not as long as one would like, I have taken lbl’s suggestion and set the thread to stick at the top of the forum.

Seriously, that is a most impressive list of software and will be a great help to visitors. Thanks for posting it, Matt.

This is the sort of thing we will want in the WiKi once it gets going.

How could I forget this one (expecially since I am a InfoSec guy),

http://sectools.org

The top 100 Network Security Tools list as maintained by insecure.org. Gives platform, price, etc. A great list for the security geek in you.

Spotting glaring errors is my specialty....making them too. ;)

might want to check out Gizmo Richards site. Has list of freeware that is updated every few months. And there are more than 46

http://techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm

also....MaximumPC mag frequently lists free software and how to use them(RIP's, etc).

Here are a couple more free utilities I have recently started to use;

1. Mac the Ripper -- http://www.mactheripper.org
2. Handbrake -- http://handbrake.m0k.org/

Mac the Ripper is a free DVD ripper for Mac. Handbrake is a free conversion utility for MTR output into Apple TV/iPod format (single mp4 from multiple VOB files) - Handbrake is both Mac and Windows.

For the artistic people out there, there is a freeware called Inkscape, which is basically a free and not quite as advanced version of Adobe Illustrator. It's still a very good vector graphics program.

Lots of great suggestions. I don't think I saw Google Chrome on the list for web browsers, and it is super fast. Sourceforge is a great resource. Some others are:
