Downloads From PortableApps.com Working Again

Previously, we posted that Google Safe Browsing Is Incorrectly Blocking All Downloads From PortableApps.com. Google has still not responded despite it being longer than their 72hr promised turnaround. In researching and testing, it seems that based on a single false positive in a single file, Google Safe Browsing blocked all downloads being passed through our site's redirector which keeps stats on how many downloads of each app occur. This applied to download regardless of where they were hosted and regardless of what the file was. I've implemented a change to the redirector to separate it out from the current false positive block and it appears working across all app downloads, both open source and freeware, as well as downloads of utilities and the platform. Please post a comment if you notice anything not working.

I'll continue to monitor the situation and update the original post with progress as well as put together a post-mortem once I hear back from Google and get it fully resolved. I'll also be working through the few day backlog of app updates. My apologies for the inconvenience. And thank you to the folks that helped out with donations as this hit our ad revenue and donation revenue.
