I feel the title should be,*Top 10 TUI(Text user interface) Applications*

^ Either that or CLI (command line interface) there’s nothing “GUI” about any of those apps.

Editor: mcedit (comes with mc package, and far better than fighting with vi/vim commands)

FTP: ncftp (not strictly a CLI-GUI, but it has remote filename tab completion, which makes it one of the best FTP clients around.)

Torrent: rtorrent (lightweight and very powerful)

Bandwidth Monitor: bwm/bwm-ng (simple and useful)

@strangethings
I should have included Lynx and Links – I use those. Completely forgot about them.
