You might aswell download it from a torrent site, as either way you won't be operating with a valid licence, and could potentially land yourself in a spot of bother if you are using it commercially or otherwise.

Instead, go to Adobe and download trial versions of software you like the look of, they are valid for 30 days and should give you chance to test them out. Weigh them up against your current software, or the following free alternatives.

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program
Paint.NET - Free Photo Editing Software for Windows

FileZilla Homepage - Index
Inkscape. Draw Freely.
