Have Portable FF - v 1.5

Here at work we go through a proxy as such I get a error:
Proxy server is refusing connections.
Is there a way around this?
What do I need?

Ok, maybe it's just me, but I'm confused. I found the portable suite package, which says it fits on a 256Mb drive. And it should - according to windows, the entire extracted package is 214Mb. But when I extract it to my USB drive, I keep getting an out of space error.

I checked the size of my USB drive in windows (right click on properties, see general tab) and it says the drive is 244Mb (which is 256,507,904 bytes) which is correct, and which should (tightly) accomodate 214Mb of data.

I tried both extracting from the zip directly to the USB drive, and then extracting the files first to my C:\ drive and attempting to copy them over. Both fail - I get an "out of space" error.

Hi

Is it worth creating a structure in the forums that mimics the structure you have set up in the "Applications" area of the web site.
This means that people can post (and find) posts related to the revelant type of software they are looking for?

Just a reminder for those interested... if you'd like to help test apps, keep an eye on the Beta Testing forum. Right now, I'm looking for people to test Portable VLC Media Player, for instance.

Thanks,
John

is there a portableapps in the works for OS X?

Okay, as far as I can tell: no registry entries. , Though I may have missed something. Feedback appreiciated.

I use this tool when performing maintenence on my dad's computer. (He's a DBA, but just hates Windows, so I'm his "admin assistant" lol. He needs his comuter to dail into work.) Usually, when I'm running maintenence, I'm tinkering with my own, while anti-virus, -malware, -spyware, and defrag etc. (in succession!) are running on his. Problem is, he has a security screensaver going, and I can't be bothered to remember the password. !!! So I just run this little proggie till I'm done:

I need a tunnel to do some basic things from my work network (access my personal email) and I've been running HTTP-Tunnel Client from my flash drive. It's been working well and I've been pleased with the results. Is anyone else in this situation and have other programs worked for them?

I saw a write up for this on
PortableFreeware.com, (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=393)

but I am not sure where to get this older version. The link to the company website that makes it only has the updated version (which is not recommended by PortableFreeware.com because it is not truly portable)

Anyone know where I can get the v1.811?
