Tb ate my mail last week and then died. Er...so I re-installed it and copied over - no problem. If its important, back it up. D-synchronize (portable) and FreeFileSynch keeps my sh*t together accross many laptops + more flashdrives + several usb H/Ds.

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.

Noticed now if you use the Check for Updates option in help menu you get a stupid ad at the top of uTorrent disguising it's self as a recommended torrent. |

Just a clarification, this doesn't work "directly" with Oracle, MySQL or other DB, it requires an ODBC connection set up. If it worked "directly" with those it would connect to Oracle via TNSNames on (default) port tcp/1521 and for MySQL tcp/3306. It does neither. |

juvera: this should ideally go into the forums, but yes it's considered portable. Temp file behavior is covered in the FAQ. |
LibreOffice Portable v4.0.3 Updated
Checker on 15 May 2013 Change history
- 272MB (uncompressed)
- Suggested by JohnTHaller
LibreOffice is a complete office suite including word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, database, drawing tool and more. Includes excellent compatibility for 100s of file formats including OpenXML (docx, xlsx, etc.). The program is similar to OpenOffice, a program that it was derived from, but has added many new features including more import filters and window enhancements.
LibreOffice Portable is a special build optimized for flash memory devices developed in conjunction with the publisher. On systems without Java installed, some functions that require it (document creation wizards, the Base database application, etc) can be enabled by adding jPortable, though this is optional and can be skipped if those functions are not needed.
Alternatively, X-LibreOffice is also available.

@lux: I think the objective is making LibreOffice less huge by sharing code between components as much as possible.

"Includes excellent compatibility for 100s of file formats including OpenXML" - that must be a joke??? LibreOffice still messes up 90% of my Word-, Excel-, and PowerPoint files. Especially docx, xlsx, and pptx formats. If you value maximum compatibility, LibreOffice is pretty poor. SoftMaker FreeOffice in this relation remains unbeaten.
