I find myself using a number of OSes daily but for the OSes I use most, I have some favorite third party applications that I can't live without. Here are my application lists for Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS X and BeOS; applications I always download and install after a clean OS installation. Please tell us about your favorite third party apps you use on different OSes by using the provided comment section.

netcat dammit! netcat.
I can't count the number of times I booted up a server with a dying disk, and only dd over netcat to backup the disk saved me.
It's not a replacement for proper backup, but it's a damn good idea.
And don't forget to keep it in / filesysem. who knows if your /usr or /var will be toasted?
