Download speeds have been bad for about a week

Submitted by justinj on October 17, 2023 - 12:33am

Did something change with the hosting for PA.c downloads? My download speeds have been very slow for around the past week. Have tried every day and still have the issue. I am on a gigabit connection in the UK and still get really slow speeds. Occasionally the download will just stop.

Anyone else noticing this? I'm sorry if it was already addressed, but I didn't know where else to bring this up.

Regards,
Justin

When absolute path length is greater than 260 characters, PortableApps Platform can not open app

Submitted by Mark888 on September 24, 2023 - 8:46am

As suggested, I shall open a new thread to track this issue.

I have multiple apps/utilities that were categorized into folders, under PoratableApps.com folder I just put directory symlinks to the real directories.

Because the real directories were categorized into folders, sometimes its paths were a bit long. I managed it somehow.

However, whenever the absolute path length is greater than 260 characters, the app can not be opened from the PortableApps.com Platform.

A question and a request for IrfanView

Submitted by Winnie_W on September 18, 2023 - 5:28am

Hello,

I want to know why the installer of Irfanview installs both the 32 bit and the 64 bit versions of the program.

The develeper of Irfanview has updated a few plugins without changing the version number of the program.

Two format plugins contains security fixes, which is important especially for the WebP format.

Thanks.

How can I install a only a single version of 64-Bit And 32-Bit Apps?

Hello could you please tell Me if there is a setting in the PortableApps platform somewhere for Aplications that come with both the 32-Bit App version And the 64-Bit App version to only instal one of the two versions? And if there is one where do i find it? And how can i set it to if possible install only the 64-Bit version?
With a wish of a good day to you and a thank you beforehand for any reply.
