I use axel for downloading from http/ftp mirrors. For torrents, I usually stick to transmission/deluge. For compressing files/dirs I use bzip2. I haven't used 7-zip, so don't know how it performs compared to bzip2.

7zip
install the package p7zip and you can use File-roller to extract. your files.
Download manager
There was too many of them! aria2,d4x,kget,axel,gwget,multiget,aria2fe(GUI for aria2) and list goes on...
But my favorite is wget -- because its extremely simple to use and being a CLI application, it super light:hap2:

Back with more requests
Any nice GUI editor for MP3 ID tags, especially easy-to-use, for those who have personally used any? I searched and I see "easytag" and "kid3" which I'll try now.
BTW, good to have a list on the first post, but the first two entries can be "controversial", you have put distro as Arch (what about others) and desktop environment as KDE (what about others) , so it would be nice to mention other alternatives like in the other ones you have for browsers or photo-editing. Or just remove those entries altogether? ANother one is Office suite, just openoffice mentioned, while there are alternative like KOffice, AbiWord, GNumeric etc.

OK tried both easytag (gnome ui) and kid3 (qt ui) both are good, I like kid3 better, I guess you can list these two on the main post for "MP3/audio ID3tag editors"
Hey, thanks for reminding. I havent tried geexbox stuff in a long time, lets try it this weekend. My mom has some DVDs waiting to be seen, will use her as test subject alpha

I used Piecard for tagging. it recognizes mp3 automatically and fetches tags from musicbrains database . give it a shot!
On serious note,
