@fredx181 :-

Hi, Fred.

Mm......couldn't really say. I only tend to upload single items at a time (I don't think I've EVER uploaded anything containing lots of small files). Which, being the case, means I can neither confirm NOR deny.

I wouldn't describe their upload/download speeds as blazing fast, but they're hardly slow, either. It's been quite a number of years since King's Lynn's telecom infrastructure was upgraded. I'm certain we're nowhere NEAR the top tiers of fibre speeds/bandwidth, that's for sure.....

Geographical location will doubtless play a large part. Somebody in one location - accessing my stuff - might get a fast download, while somebody else in a different part of the world might get a very slow download and have a bad experience. That stuff is completely out of our hands, of course!

Curiously, for ME, the fastest one I regularly use is my MediaFire a/c.......and I believe THEIR server farms are ALL Stateside, across t'other side of "the Pond" from us. You'd never know it from the speeds, though.

Could be to do with whatever verification software they're using. You ARE aware that, regardless of provider, they all insist on verifying/running checksums on every single item you upload/download.......irrespective of size? :?

Mike. ;)

Can you test it ? (if not too much to ask. I will give you a "Thank You" then, promised :lol: ).

Noticed you don't have a link to your Chromium Portable in the first post, or did I miss it?

Thanks

@wizard :-

Um.....nope; you didn't "miss" it, 'cos it's not actually there.

I didn't publish that one, 'cos I didn't want to tread on peebee's toes. Chromium had always been Peter's 'domain', so I'd always left him to it.....I was portabilizing almost every other browser as it was!

I might publish, if there's a demand. We'll see.

Mike. ;)

@peebee's Chromium .sfs's have been great, but haven't been able to get them running on F96 or BW64. That's why v120 pet and sfs was made and linked in the BW64 topic.

Besides, there are advantages for a portable vs .sfs, so don't really think you'd be infringing on anyone.

Anyway, just started getting DRM errors on TUBI when using your v120 portable, so found v130 (also by you :thumbup2: ) to fix it, just wasn't in your COMPLETE list.

Thanks for being the Portable Guru

@wizard :-

If you look in the listing, you'll find a new one for Chromium-portable. peebee PM'd me earlier - must've been reading this - to say he was fine with it, so; I've started a new thread to cover it, and linked to it.

I've clearly stated I will NOT be religiously upgrading every little point release; after all, I'm not compiling/building this myself - just re-packaging somebody else's work. AlienBob is not religiously building every single point release himself, so folks here will have to be satisfied with HIS schedule...

@gychang :-

No, there's no portable version of gThumb. I'm not even sure quite where you'd start with that; it's not something I've ever really looked into. I usually give the portable treatment to stuff that's either already available as an AppImage, OR is built in its own self-contained directory to begin with. gThumb doesn't tick either of those two boxes, so.....it would HAVE to be built from scratch. I can look into it, but I'm making no promises.....right?

(I do know for a fact that gtreamer is required for certain functions within gThumb - remember, this is specifically a GNOME app - and once you have a need for gstreamer, you're opening a whole new can of worms (one I'm not keen to get into))...
