Google Chrome Installer Download, starts fast, stops quickly... doesn't finish.

Submitted by flipjargendy on January 20, 2010 - 9:17am

I have downloaded the installer a couple of times, thinking it was the installer but the same thing happens every time.

I start the installation to my desktop and the download begins at a fast transfer rate. It will only take 3 minutes. After about 2 seconds of downloading the transfer rate drops to .5kB/s or .3kB/s.

Has this happen to anyone else, if so what can I do to fix this? Thanks.

I have discovered a new medium for carrying my portableapps with me accross all my computers without having to remember my thumbdrive, dropbox. So long that I have an internet connection I can store my apps on a real time cloud storage service this means that I don't have to upload everything again every time I put it in the folder. I have used this successfully and I am inviting you all to do the same.

You can find it here here

I hope you like this Idea If you have any questions please let me know.

Index file contents - like windows desktop search or google desktop search?

Submitted by adoucette on January 16, 2010 - 8:31pm

Is there a portable app available that can index inside the files on my thumb drive?

For example, I have a thumb drive that has all of my school notes as well as textbooks on it. They're in doc, pdf, html, and chm format. I'd like to be able to do instant searches for keywords like I can with the windows desktop search.
Is there a (free) portable app that can do this?
Thanks,
Ari

Turning Portable Apps On/Off

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for specific functionality that I'd be interested if any of you knows is possible.

Basically I want to do the following:

- take snapshot
- install bunch of apps
- take snapshot
- compare snapshot and make package

Then have the ability to install package / deinstall package at will.

Basically I want to portable-ize my after effects plugins, but without portable-izing after effects.

Custom Icons

I'm curious, regardless of what menu/platform you use to launch your portable apps, do you use custom icons to represent things like application categories? If so, what (free) icon sets do you use?
