Kitty Portable update
version: 0.63.1.4
Couldn't seem to download the portable version from its home page, went here instead:
http://www.fosshub.com/KiTTY.html
Settings for Portability (reminder):
http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... php?t=4062
Which differ from portability settings on Kitty site here: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=Portability&zone=en
May need to check for portability again because of these changes?:

Re: Kitty Portable update
It's whatever. We used to do everything with separate update posts before we started associating a forum thread to an entry so it's no biggie.TP109 wrote:Those instructions go back awhile. Noted.
I'll go ahead and merge.
Re: KiTTY - SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client
Is it possible at all to download components from the official download page?. All downloads open "Donation" page. This is absolutely abominable. I am asking because version 0.67.1.2 is not yet available at Google Drive.
Re: KiTTY - SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client
Can't you download it from http://www.fosshub.com/KiTTY.html ?
(you might need to disable any addons that block referrers (header) - the direct download link seems to be http://www.fosshub.com/KiTTY.html/kitty_portable.exe but I think it might not work when you're not visiting the page above first)

Re: KiTTY - SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client
You can get a fairly recent version (currently, v0.67.1.1) from Chocolatey package page at https://chocolatey.org/packages/kitty/. If you click download on the left sidebar bottom, you'll get a NUPKG that is in fact a mere ZIP file -- just rename and extract.

Yes, I can download from FossHub but not all KiTTY files are hosted there.
I keep a "plain" browser without any add-ons installed and with no integration to download managers for sites like KiTTY official one- K-Meleon, but even it was unable to download from KiTTY web-site. For me such aggressive donation prompts show a very bad taste and I never donate to such developers. Perhaps KiTTY developer has decided to stop using Google Drive for hosting because there he cannot push donation pop-ups.
@Midas
Thanks but I already have the version you mentioned. I was simply infuriated by KiTTY official download page.

Re: KiTTY - SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client
So we're listing this program as open source (we're not the only ones) but I can't for the life of me figure out what the license is or where to download the source. The original (putty) was BSD but that's a license that is easy to take in a closed-source direction. I even downloaded the documentation and I can't find anything there either.
Ideas welcome. Otherwise I'm tempted to change the license to "Freeware"

KiTTY uses a permissive license. You can view it by clicking About -> Licence. I also copied it into the spoiler tag below.webfork wrote:So we're listing this program as open source (we're not the only ones) but I can't for the life of me figure out what the license is or where to download the source.

Spoiler!
Edit: Is is just me, or are spoiler tags impossible to open? I can't open the one above with either Vivaldi or Firefox.
