Orbit Downloader is maybe the best freeware download manager.
It has resume support, can download multiple files at a time, supports HTTP, FTP and other protocols. You can use it with any web browser.
Version 3 and 4 come with a few interface changes. However, the developers haven’t take the time to add column show/hide support or a feature to save the columns position. I will keep the current custom installer unchanged until this has been solved.
uTorrent is the most popular BitTorrent client.
It is very light on resources, yet it has all the features you need to manage your torrent downloads. It has a very active development team that releases new versions very often.
VLC is a free multiplatform video and audio player with plenty of features and a great interface. It doesn’t need any external codecs and can stream multimedia over a network.
It supports GPU acceleration for video playback.
The quality of its video engine is not that good compared with other players (at least in my personal tests), but you can tweak the options to improve it.
For a player with internal codecs, I recommend Media Player Classic Home Cinema instead. Its video quality is superior, supports video acceleration and has plenty of features too.

And now it support file conversion as well.
This codec package provides everything you need to view all major audio and video formats in Windows 7. For users that don’t want to keep looking for codecs and instead just focus on playing their files without problems, this is as easy as it gets.

This is the only codec package I would recommend. It is advised to install it on a system without any other codec packages, even when the installer can uninstall the most popular ones if it finds them. For support, there is a forum. If you have any doubt or a problem, you will find answers there.

I use ffdshow, AC3Filter and DivX Tech Preview to play everything I want. You can use Haali Media Splitter along with DivX Tech Preview to support thumbnails of MKV files (just disable Haali thumbnailing feature to use DivX, which is much better). For video playback, Media Player Classic Home Cinema is my favorite.
