General Discussion

Found this great little program, portable (doesn't need installing) but I was wondering with all the recent additions of utilities, can there be one that finds file streams?

P.S. Would any guru here know what a file stream actually is and can they be used to hide malicious content?

Mcafee has been calling out some app code as problems

Is anybody else having issues with PortableApps.com lately? It's hard to tell since I seem to be having issues with my Internet. It could also be my imagination but it seems I'm getting "PortableApps is down for maintenance" messages more frequently. Today, for the first time that I can remember I'm actually getting "PortableApps is overloaded" messages. I just want to be sure it's not a problem my end which it could well be. Another thing that made me question it is that we see to be getting a lot of double posts lately, so I'm wondering if other people are indeed having issues.

.... WOW i just used this app for the first time to help a friend long distance understand how to use the portable apps menu and install new apps i am on a journey to share the magic of portable apps wherever i go thank you team for allowing us the power to possess these magical programs and keep up the awesome work

To prevent an issue with additional services, SourceForge staff has temporarily disabled new releases (both uploads and mirroring). All staff is on-hand working on a fix.

Wasn't sure where to post this but I noticed FF 4B10 was avail today so downloaded it and it said it wouldn't pass integrity check. I re-downloaded it 4 times from different mirrors on SF and got same response each time.

Environment:

So last night, I was logged onto this website. I quit Firefox and shut down the computer w/o logging out of portableapps.com. Today at school, I try to log on, and it says my password is incorrect. I know for a fact that I typed in the password correctly.

The same thing happened yesterday when I switched computers. I logged into the website from one computer, then shut down the computer without logging out of portableapps.com. I turned on the other computer, typed in the EXACT SAME PASSWORD, and it didn't work. I had to reset the password, and I reset to what it already was.

For the life of me i cant seem to get the portableapps rss feed to update automatically using the firefox default reader. I have tried deleting all portableapps references in my bookmarks before re-adding it and even compacting the bookmark database afterwards. I am using firefox 3.6.13. Manual updates and other readers work fine

Also, i am using the httpfox addon to try and diagnose the problem. No connection is even made whilst all my other feeds update. Plus i get the following error when i visit portableapps.com...

After the reeset today? seems that www.portableapps.com still brings me to the offline page bit http:///portableapps.com works?

Does this mean I should change all of my bookmarks?
