All links are SVR4 packages:

Transmission 1.21: A decent Gnome based torrent client. Stable.

WINE 1.1.2: No explanations needed. Appears stable. Runs at least the three main apps from Office 2007.

Songbird 0.7: A pretty cool iTunes look-a-like. Requires the appropriate GStreamer modules for the respective file formats.

And if you feel really bored and need to watch deviants at play, or maybe just need a virtual toy world, there’s also a bonus: SecondLife for Solaris.
