Iron 4 (stable), Opera 10.50 (dev) and more

will illigal apps ever be on this site

At a glimpse these are all freeware apps therefore they can be legally distributed with the permission of the author or alternatively as online installers. See Google Chrome Portable for an example of an online installer.

If you had done a search you could have knocked a few of these off. Search before you post!

Try to understand this. It's not that easy to portabalize. Try to take a look at all the work our members have done.

Only Open Source program will be hosted on this site. No freeware unless authorized by John.

Do you even realize why they're on pirate sites? Because they're illegal. This site follows the Open Source Definition and only releases true PortableApps.

There is no true easy way to have Everything Portable, all of the ways require hard work by you or others. Zipping up and .paf don't make stuff portable.

Just out of curiosity, did you search? I just spent 10 minutes and found most of the apps you were looking for.

Google Chrome is here.

Lunascape won't happen; here's why.

Deluge is still in development and seems to have stalled; perhaps you'd be willing to take over?

Iron doesn't seem to be on here; perhaps you'd be willing to try your hand at it. There's a portable build already on the Iron website; your launcher would be pretty darn simple.

BitComet, Tixati, and BitSpirit aren't on here either. There are some other Torrent clients, most notably uTorrent, on here though; until somebody gets around to the apps you requested, you might want to look at the other clients.

Cheers!

Well, you tempted me with the idea of some almost-portable apps and I fell. You can get Iron here; however, as "punishment" for tempting me, I appoint you my official tester for Iron.

Seriously, I would really appreciate it if you tested Iron; I'd also appreciate it if somebody told me if they noticed a newer version of Iron. I've got half-a-dozen projects going now, in addition to my full-time studies, and something's bound to be missed.

Post content removed. Please don't link to sites which are thoroughly illegal (including copyright, trademark and licensing violation and who knows what else), or recommend things like ThinApp - invariably people use pirated versions of it rather than paying the thousands of dollars for it, and then redistribute it, again against the license, and morals.

-- Mod Chris

@ricardofilipemoreira: Get that link out of here.
Sorry to be so harsh, but that site hosts dozens of illegal apps, steals the PortableApps trademarks, and feeds off PA.c's good reputation. From what I've heard of it, it's one of the biggest thorns in PA's side.
Please edit your post to get rid of that warez link as quickly as possible.

Theres's still one thing you're not getting. Just because a freeware program is zipped up doesn't give anybody the right to just take it and add the "Portable" suffix to it.
