Replacing SourceForge

Submitted by maratc on July 23, 2015 - 8:14am

Hey guys,

Due to recent controversy around SF.net, some ad blockers (uBlock for example) now prevent you by default from as much as visiting sourceforge.

I understand that there was no harm done specifically to Portable Apps project, but it is worth to think whether it is a good idea to host PA on a site that is widely considered harmful.

Bintray is a good alternative, worth exploring, and they are 100% free for open source apps.

Hi there

The main reason I use portable apps is to keep my computer running as fast as possible. So far for the majority of software I use I've managed to find a portable version or at least a suitable portable alternative. But I also use many programs that aren't portable, and I thought that I would have to install all those to my computer. After some googling I discovered UniExtract, and I'm quite relieved that it works most of the time.
