I'll take a look at the programs you mention. You're apparently more GNOME-oriented than KDE-oriented, right? Great contribution, Super Jamie! I’ll take a look at the programs you mention.

I prefer GQView for image viewing, it’s alot like ACDSee on Windows, though gThumb is the only decent one I’ve found that supports animated GIFs. Deluge-Torrent and Transmission are both nice GTK BitTorrent clients. SwiftFox will give you the functionality of Firefox, with CPU-optimised instructions for speed, however the versions based on FF3 don’t support font smoothing yet. You can install “branch” (ie: Firefox 2) builds from the website and deb repository at getswiftfox.com. Oh yes, and XMMS has been deserted for a long time now, Audacious is a nice, stable and full-featured alternative :) You may wish to look at Filezilla for FTP, and PCManFM for file management.
