General Discussion

SourceForge.net has been experiencing an outage across several of their services due to a directed attack against one of their development environments (CVS). 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:
win7 64bit
Chrome 9.0.597

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?

I have an old laptop that has Windows XP and I would like to move it to Linux. What is the best version? Ubuntu? Which Portable Apps will work with Linux? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Good day everyone.

I've read some thread regrading the creation of the said file(*.paf.exe) but i don't seem to understand it well.

So please give me a clear instruction on how to create or transform a non-portable application to a "*.paf.exe" file.

Let me start: I have an installer of an application, named "mine.exe", what are the steps that i should do to make it a "mine.paf.exe"?
