General Discussion

Topic intensions: Discuss why any downloads from mirrors may not work and how they can be fixed.
Say a download is the wrong size, did the problem occur when the file was uploaded or downloaded, does this happen when downloading from a specific mirror, how many times did you try to download the file etc.

So here it goes: Download PortableApps_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe (89.5MB); attempts 3 with sizes 27, 42, 25MB; mirror Unknown (sorry), download manager firefox.

I’m going to try different mirrors.

When you're on the forums tracker, and you click on "new", it's supposed to send you to the FIRST new reply. Lately it's been taking me to the LAST reply. I have to scroll up to see any other "new" replies that someone has made. Is anybody else having this same issue?

Hey for all of the genius programmers out there I thought you might like these.

hi all, i thought you might be interested to see the portable apps menue running in reactos 0.3.3 rc1,,i couldnt get any of the portable apps to run but its a start, the back up app did start and it tried to back up the drive (its fat32 in vmware),it got about half the drive backed up before it froze? ,anyways here a pic , http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portableappsmz8.png

I need a new portable program to encode VOB (DVD files) to x264 files. I used to use MediaCoder, but now it isn't portable since you need a copy of Visual C++ installed otherwise you get an error when trying to start the program. I've tried SUPER, but it never loads when I try to start the program.

I am a VB.Net programmer and I have created a few programs that are available for download, I was wondering about licensing my software.

I want to know what license is best for me and how much it will cost(Hopefully nothing)

I want my software to be free for download but users must be unable to change and alter to software legally!

I also don't want to be liable for any damage caused by the program if that were to ever happen.

I have a question to you programmers...

You know that encryption need access rights so it is not really portable...

But everybody is requesting to password protect info in Pdrives...

So, is it posible to have portableapps and documents folders in a password protected 7zip file and when launching the Pmenu ask for password automatically, open the 7zip run apps, etc, and when closing, save changes in the password protected 7zip, erase the opened one with a secure deleter automatically (and then eject the drive)?

Hi all!
I'm looking for an app or a method to hide files in my USB Stick, regardless to my host PC (so just changing attributes it's not enough). I don't need encryption- just hiding some ugly configuration files.
Thanks, Barak

I noticed XAMPP on the software list, but the download doesn't have a paf.exe.
Is this a big deal?

The article was posted back in January of 2007, but I just came across it today. It's from FOSSwire.com
