This is an awesome program, i really love it.
Only one concern: after checking for updates and downloading them, the software won't delete the downloaded installers from it's (or from chosen) folder automatically, so you have to remove those manually.

Too bad apps like CCleaner will not be added.

Please can you add support for the Firefox Portable development builds on PortableApps.com.

OK, thanks will do webfork, I would have thought he does view a very popular top site like this anyway though.

Mark: Support for updating the development builds of Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome is built into PA.c Platform 2.0 Beta 5. It's all automated, the installers run silently without bugging you, and the updater shows your overall download and install progress.

Been using this for about two months now and very pleased with it. Small, fast, and simple.

WinUHA - UHARC GUI - High Compression Multimedia Archiver.
Perhaps last year the best use of which I have come across.

Excellent program! :-) For those who are interested in Piriform portable apps (Ccleaner, Defraggler, Speccy and Recuva), I've built a small batch using iopus file downloader and 7zip, which automatically downloads and updates them. Works like a charm :-)

Better yet, using wget instead of iopus ;-)

An excellent program that automates updating portable apps. I use portable apps almost exclusively and have spent too much time chasing down the updates. I know I'm not the only PA junkie out there...
