If you have struggled to get a full download of the Portable USB Apps collection, I may have found a solution. I put the file on File Factory. This is a free file hosting service. The downside is that they require you to use Internet Explorer and they have a ton of pop up adds. I posted the link on the website yesterday afternoon, and so far it has been downloaded over 180 times!
Here is the link to the direct download: http://www.filefactory.com/get/f.php?f=43ee8de544a2f54747dacb5e
btw... I also just finished a similar project that I call the Essential Software Collection CD. Details are available at http://www.theinfobox.com/index.php/Essential_Software_Collection
Basically, I created the ESC CD for friends and coworkers that bought new PCs and then were disappointed that it came with no software. The CD includes a collection of software that is free and should be enough to get most users started. I also included a subset of the Portable Application Collection as well. I think the CD makes a great stocking stuffer for those recieving new PCs for Christmas.
And, of course, I am also trying to make the ISO image of the CD available for download. Unfortunately, it is about 700megs. I'm not sure how useful bittorrent will be since with a download that big, it will take me forever to seed it to the first peers. I tried uploading it to FileFactory last night, but it failed at some point during the 7 hour transfer. Trust me, if I can find a way to get this out there, I will.
