Why Internet downloading while install?
Why chrome portable does not have an offline installer? It is very annoying to me if I am unable to pause my downloads (we have very low speed on Bangladesh).
Licensing
The installer live downloads the regular Google Chrome installer and extracts the files from it. Any package of Chrome bundling the Chrome files is done illegally. For this release, you can download this file separately and place it in the same directory as the portable installer. The portable installer should then use that rather than downloading a copy during installation.
Offline install
Nice feature, Thanks

"For this release, you can download this file separately and place it in the same directory as the portable installer."
Is this an exception? A lot of people in India will also be grateful if it becomes a regular feature as internet connectivity there as well is nothing to be proud of :(.
Downloads that do not permit "resuming" from where the break occurs are a real problem.
Specifying the file
It's a different file for every release; given this URL, you will probably be able to guess the new directory for a new version.
