This is a good game that is already portable. Many of you have probably seen this before.

You can go there and it gives you a link to the website where you can download it. No nonsense, just a .zip package and one exe.

Miranda Instant Messenger is a good alternative for those who want multiple instant messaging protocols, but still want to stay small in size. Miranda is around 2.5MB, which is much smaller than Gaim. It does all the major protocols (AIM/ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc. It is extensible via plugins. You can download a .zip of the program that is already portable.

Hey,

I just downloaded Bit Comet, a useful application for downloading Bt Torrent files. This was installed directly to my iPod and it works without any modifications.

Maybe this can go on the list of portable apps?

Any other ones out there, and we make Foxit smaller?

I have been using Irfanview (see www.irfanview.com)
for many years. I have used it on my USB stick without
a problem. None of the needed files have to be on the
hard drive. It is a small app with powerful viewer
abilities and with its ability to modify and convert
images, it is "ready to go!"
I suggest that PortableApps.com seek it out!
