Portability may be lost after update- re-enable it from "Settings" - "Advanced" - "Make Tox portable". |
µTorrent (or uTorrent) is a lightweight BitTorrent client that supports multiple simultaneous downloads, file level priorities, configurable bandwidth scheduler and speed limiters, even the ability to only run while user activity is detected. Also includes boss key, built-in search function and RSS capability for subscribed downloads.
Note that this software was changed to adware after being added to the Portable Freeware database.
Alternatively, µTorrent Portable is also available, which automatically adjusts paths.

@robzuc: see 'What is "portable"' on the "about" page: https://www.portablefreeware.com/about.php Not leaving stuff behind is not "stealth" in the parlance here, and uTorrent works fine when moving from machine to machine and saves your settings.

RetroShare is a feature-rich communications platform for small groups of users with a focus on privacy. The program includes an exclusive and secure toolset for instant messaging, chat rooms, forums, direct messages (e-mail), file server, VoIP, channels for distributing content and link exchange. It functions as an open, distributed alternative to many commercial groupware programs.
Additional features include RSS feed reader, status messages (away/busy), different modes for low traffic, transfer and disk space limits, plugins, skins and much more. Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, BSD).

I agree with User2100. This is a very fast launching player with a very small footprint, but the lack of a time slider is a big issue. |
Spamihilator works between your email client and the Internet to examine incoming messages for problems, filtering out useless and unsolicited spam mails (junk). This process runs completely in the background, using a number of different filters in order to achieve the highest spam recognition rate possible. The program is highly configurable and can be extended via plugins.
