What are the equivalent applications in OSX for these Windows programs? When I say "equivalent" I mean something that does the same function or better, with the same features, for the same or less amount of memory footprint. Especially there's a Mac program that does the same but is far better.
1. Nero
2. utorrent (besides Azureus)
3. CCCP (besides VLC and mplayer)
4. IrfanView
5. Nods32/Kaspersky
I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them at this minute.
Thanks!

2) A variety of Torrent options, depending on your needs. Transmission and Tomato Torrent are probably some of the most popular.
3) Not sure about an equivalent to a codec/player package like that besides just something like VLC or MPlayer.
4) There's all sorts of viewers/etc. GraphicConverter has been a long-time popular Mac app; it does all sorts of stuff, but includes slideshow functionality, etc. http://www.lemkesoft.com/
5) There are some Mac antivirus programs, etc. but they aren't really all that popular on the Mac platform.There's McAfee Virex for the Mac, Norton AntiVirus, Sophos AntiVirus, ClamXav, VirusBarrier, etc. -
Found this:

Package of codecs for Intel Macs (which would basically play within any quicktime-capable video player on a Mac, FrontRow, etc). -
Thanks Zadillo...it's amazing how many programs I tend to use on a daily basis that I just take for granted.
Wonder what I'm missing... -
