Avvenu is nice because you can download files from your desktop, however, I have yet to get it to stream media. I've tried everything with no luck and their tech support just keeps suggesting very rudimentary fixes that don't apply at all. Their FAQ hasn't been any help either...
Orb has a lot of nice extra features, but you can't download from your desktop and I can't get it to stream media either...
It would be nice if somebody made a program with the strengths of all 3 programs that would reliably stream media.

I use a combination of LogMeIn to access my desktop remotely, and Orb to stream media and to download files from my pc. Both are free so it is definitely what I recommend.
I Signed up for the 30 day trial of LogMeIn and it allowed downloading of files directly but after the 30 days they wanted a monthly fee, I now have the free version of LogMeIn which only allows remotely accessing your desktop. The only feature I miss is downloading and streaming, and Orb works beautifully for both of those!
Plus the added benefit of Orb being able to access my tv-tuner is unbelievable.
