Welcome to Linux (and Ubuntu)!

Personally, I have used Transmission as my torrent client for years, starting with it on BeOS and continuing to use it when I switched to Linux. For a long time, I used Thunderbird for a Usenet client, but have recently switched to Pan Newsreader. I can't point to a feature or features in Pan and say, "This is why I prefer it"; for me it's subjective and just "feels" better. As for video work, I have tinkered a small amount using OpenShot, but definitely nothing serious, and I have little to no experience with other similar apps to compare it to.

One app that I would recommend that doesn't fit the categories you've listed is Clementine, an audio player app. I have tried several over the years, and this is my current favorite for ease of use, features, and eye candy. Just my unsolicited personal opinion.

Hope you find my opinions/experiences a bit helpful.
