General Discussion

There was an ongoing outage at SourceForge which is affecting some downloads both from our website and the PortableApps.com Platform. As of 10:30am NY time on Mar 4 it appears to finally be fully resolved.

Background

Very good to all users, currently I present a very serious problem in the app that affects the performance, and I can't get install or update some apps, the error that comes out is 'not downloaded correctly and can not be installed, blablabla, problems related to the network, etc ... '. I tried downloading these apps manually, and it turns out that sourceforge doesn't load correctly either, it keeps loading indefinitely. Do you have any plan B for these cases? Otherwise, the application will be compromised since many users will not be able to add the things they want so much.

It's all right!

I change the temporary LibreOffice files to a folder on my drive, but when I open Libre again it always shows the user's path in "temp" in C: \ Users \ MyUser \ AppData \ Local \ Temp

Is there a possibility to solve this?

Greetings all,

We've been brainstorming ways to ensure that PortableApps.com remains an ongoing project for a while. There are a few things I'd like to be able to do with the project and, as most folks have noticed, SourceForge downloads continue to be an issue for us. They're currently unavailable within the platform and only partially working within the browser (a big issue since about 74% of downloads are platform-based) and we're unable to upload new releases. This is the second DDoS in a week that has resulted in an outage.

there are some security software offers (file locker, ROHOS, USBSafeguard) that set up an encrypted virtual drive on USB stick for data.
Has anyone got Thunderbird to work properly and fast with such a method?

Hi Everyone,

I tried installing Balabolka (Text to Speech tool) yesterday and Symantec end point protection gave this alert and quarantined the file:

BalabolkaPortable_2.11.0.647.paf.exe Trojan.Gen.2 Quarantined Virus Auto-Protect scan Infected Quarantine 2/26/2018 15:24

And today I tried again after I found a new version and this time it gave a new alert:

BalabolkaPortable_2.11.0.648.paf.exe WS.Malware.2 Cleaned by deletion Virus Auto-Protect scan Deleted Deleted 2/27/2018 12:54

Any clues what is happening here?

Thanks

When will VLC be updated? Version 3.0.0 is available since the beginning of February and works perfectly. Is there any reason for this very "curious" and "symptomatic" delay?

Tried to update an app today, got the error. Later I wanted to install an app, got the same error. I tried to download the app .exe from the website, and it refreshes between https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/portableapps/ and
https://downloads.sourceforge.net/#!/project/portableapps/

Is there something I'm doing, or a problem with the website today?

This is my first time posting, and I want to say Thanks! to everyone who put so much work into such a great program.

Microsoft is gearing up to launch ARM laptops with Windows which will run existing non-ARM apps using Windows on Windows on ARM. This will support 32-bit x86 apps only. x64 apps will not be supported. Microsoft has said that they will likely support 64-bit standard apps at some point in the future but, according to all the reporting so far, this will be a very big engineering effort to get done since Windows on Windows has always been 32-bit-only and even if it is updated to support 64-bit, it will encounter a performance hit that 32-bit apps won't.
