yt-dlp for downloading videos from various websites.
I use this one. Extremely fast and easy to use once you figure it out.
This one is amazing, especially when you realise various websites means, nearly any streaming platform. SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Bandcamp etc, it knows them and can download whole archives of files. As we watch Twitter and Reddit totter and crumble it's time to realise this will happen with the sites that host your favourite podcast, unless you make offline copies
qBittorrent for a lightweight and open-source BitTorrent client.
undefined> QBitorrent
Okay, question that hopefully doesn't make me look too stupid - please be easy on me! I followed the instructions for Firefox + uBlock + paid VPN. However qTorrent is recommended but the list of browser specific downloads, does not include Firefox. Very confused right now.
Not sure what you are asking for, but one thing I can recommend is that for qbittorent to go to settings > Advanced > Network Interface to tie your VPN to the client. This will help in the event your VPN cuts out reducing chances of your IP address leaking.
Calibre for organizing, converting, and syncing eBooks.
Absolutely vital for anyone who uses an ebooks.
RetroArch for a frontend for emulators, game engines, and media players with support for various platforms.
jdownloader2 for a free download management tool.
Just go to be sure the download the clean adware free version from what I remember. Easy for Linux though since it is available in the repo. On windows I think you go to the page https://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2
Been a long time since I used it on Windows.
gallery-dl for a command-line program to download image galleries and collections from several image hosting sites.
Sonarr for a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users that can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows.

Prowlarr for a meta-indexer that integrates with other applications like Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr.

Tellico for a KDE application for organizing your collections, including books, videos, music, and more.
TMSU for a command-line tool for tagging your files and accessing them through a virtual filesystem.
Plex. I know it’s not the open source option, but I love it.
With plex pass it detects intros and let’s you skip them. This silly feature got me to buy a lifetime pass.
It really surprised me the first time I saw the Skip intro button on a series I downloaded. It seems to work by analyzing the audio and comparing it between episodes from the same season.
Ombi for a self-hosted web application that allows users to request content for Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin.
mediarepo for a media manager similar to image boards (boorus), allows tagging media and searching using those tags.
