To be a truly portable app, should torrent data not correctly move with the drive? Once a torrent is added, the download path is absolute, not relative to the portable app, so if you move to another computer and get assigned a different dive letter you lose the progress download so far. Thoughts?

Yes, this is a bug. I took a look through the launcher, and all settings files, but couldn't find where that information is saved. I have a feeling it might be in %PAL:DataDir%\settings\AppData_qBittorrent\qBittorrent-resume.ini, but I can't figure out how to convert the information in that file to human-readable text to find out.
Looking through the qBittorrent code, I would guess that it is a UTF string encoded into ASCII using the Qstring library from Qt. Looks like a good place to start anyway.

edit: On further inspection, it looks more like QSettings, of type IniFormat. http://qt.developpez.com/doc/4.4/qsettings/
Hi, have this been resolve? I downloaded the installer and still cannot install it. Looking forward to hear good news.
Support for portablizing the path is added in 2.9.7 Rev 2 through some custom code I wrote. It supports portablization of the drive letter only, so if you move paths, download resumption will not work between sessions.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
