Winaero Tweaker
It's a very powerful tool that lets you change a wide array of Windows settings. My favorites are easily adding apps to the context menu.

ExpressVPN--I had Surfshark for years, went downhill when Nord took over. I have home network Win10-Win7-Win11. SS constantly lost network connection. ExpressVPN never does, whether I log off on or.
AnyTXT Searcher. I use UltraSearch too but it's mostly file names. AnyTXT can find keywords within files, and display preview in pop up.
SnagIt screencapture-- lots of annotation features; does OCR on text image
DTSearch--the BEST searcher for folders you put into library. Full page previews
ABBYY Finereader--best results on convert PDF to Word
Calibre--- import Kindle DRM, removes DRM and can convert format to others. I hate epub; always convert to .docx.
Atomic Alarm Clock-- set reminders to pop up with sound files alarms
IDM forever!
Bigasoft Video converter-- some sites give .ts format which doesn't scrub easily. I convert to mp4
Mailstore Home Portable---monthly archiving of my emails, keep 'em for years for quick reminders and lost info
Treesize Pro--makes variety of charts showing what is filling up your drives. let me find hyberfil.sys and delete it saving 12 gigs!
Classic Shell-- F' the eye candy of Win 7, 10, 11 ! I like organizing my Start Menu MY WAY!
Keylaunch---when you have dozens if not a hundred programs, utilities, type a few letters and snap! pops up list to launch.

There are probably untold numbers of programs that are awesome, I never heard of, and can't live without.
Freebies and available on torrents please. Torrents preferred, no links to cracked downloads, the wrong people will get mad.

What is a reputable torrent website to download programs from?

Revo is awesome
Winrar most definitely
CCleaner is a great cleaner
Nitro Pro for PDF
WinPE Strelec
AVAST Premium or Malwarebytes when it comes to Anti-Viruses.

1337x. It's been a little wonky lately, so have many cloudflare protected sites. You can trust the torrents posted there. 1337x also has partner sites listed.

I almost exclusively get my apps from TeamOS. It's a private torrent site but doesn't restrict new signups. Although, you do have to keep a ratio of at least 1:1. The site is geared towards operating systems but you'll find just about any app you can think of. I haven't had any issues with malware in the over two years I've been using the site but I choose not to download any files from newer users or files that are not on a torrent but instead stored on a file hosting site.
