Fully portable accounts software

Submitted by adminsoft on February 14, 2008 - 9:48am

Hi. I'd like to put forward my accounts software: Adminsoft Accounts

This is fully portable in that it will run off ZIP disk, USB stick, etc. It does not mess around with the registry, or require any DLL's to be installed in the Windows folder. There is one exception though, if you want to email directly from the accounts software, it does require DLL's installed (which it will do automatically, after asking the user if this is what they want to do).

Frostwire Portable

Submitted by BrianAll on February 13, 2008 - 4:05pm

Program: Frostwire

License: Open Source/GNU GPL

Description: P2P downloads from Gnutella and Torrent support.

Website: http://www.frostwire.com/

Frostwire is an open source fork of limewire, the more popular P2P client. Frostwire was originally created to preserve certain aspects of limewire which may be removed due to content filtering, and has grown to support some of the features one must pay for in limwire pro. This would be a great App to be made portable, and there are no liscencing issues. I'm not sure how far this program diggs into a computer though.

µTorrent portable?

Ok heres what I am currently using for a portable torrent system:

http://torrentfreak.com/utorrent-portable/
http://devastator.wordpress.com/2006/09/08/portable-utorrent/

I have the downloads and torrents default to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" folder so the main IO is on C:\ and not the flash drive. This works well for now, but how hard would it be to make this an official PortableApps version of µTorrent? Are there any licensing issues? could there be any performance increases with a customized PortableApps version?

Long List of Essential Apps

Submitted by Travis Carrico on February 11, 2008 - 2:14am

Ok, so some of these are more important than others, and i'm sure most of you know of these but these open source programs need to be created or if they are already portble, then they need to be packaged as a PortableApps.com app. If you guys want a more complete set of needed portable apps, then many of these apps (which are much more important than a magnifying glass or portable command prompt) need to be added to the suite.

My list includes these 9 apps:

Azureus (Bittorrent client)

Blender (3D Modeling)
