Hi,
I have recently seen on ThumbApps.org some interesting portables.
These portable are hosted on Sourceforge.net.
Well I have tried download:
1. with Chromium
2. with Opera
3. with Tor Browser
4. changed Mirror
5. disable/enable uBlock Origin / uBlock Origin Extra
-------
download do not start at all.
Some idea?

Try clearing your browsers cache and cookies for SourceForge.

Thanks to billon, hamasaki and Midas .

I have tried some download managers (Free Download Manager), but they won't work.
Finally I have tried 'Xtreme Download Manager' and all downloads works.
Other about this very powerful program:
- Xtreme Download Manager at Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/
- Sourceforge.net - files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xdman/files/
- Sourceforge Installer: see link above
- Sourceforge Portable: see link above
- Softpedia: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/ ... ager.shtml
- License: GPLv2

Independent portable builder:
- FoxxApp: https://foxxapp-paf.blogspot.com/2017/1 ... table.html
- ThumbApps - program: https://www.thumbapps.org/2015/12/Xtrem ... table.html
ThumbApps - download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/thumba ... ernet/XDM/

In my optinion best portable is on FoxxApp.

Extension for Chromium:
- Chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... e-ntp-icon
- extension name: 'XDM Browser Monitor' ver. 2.0

b.t.w.
If You use Internet Explorer 11 download works without problem.
(but I.E. is really insecure).

Finally I hope that John T. Haller create a paf for this terrific software.

They do have some interesting programs, but I would avoid their site for reasons discussed before.
