There is a common misconception that the only torrents available are of pirated music, movies, and software. While a bulk of the traffic shared between the BitTorrent network is illegal, there are also some ways that it is used for good. For example, the BitTorrent network serves as a great way for Linux distributions to share new releases. That way the traffic is spread across hundreds or thousands of different computers instead of a central group of servers.
A site called LegalTorrents is also looking to provide an easy way for people to find and download non-pirated media. Their library isn’t very extensive at this point, but they do have some popular things on there. For example, Mary Shelley’s “Frakenstein” audio book is available and so is Pearl Jam’s “Life Wasted” music video.
It would be cool to see more sites like this popping up, and it would be nice if LegalTorrents added a category for software applications. They currently have a games category that has a few Windows games, but other than that there’s no software.

and
http://yerdenizden.blogspot.com
Have a look there and please tell me something.
Both provide such a good stuff.
Speaking about windows games, at yerdenizden’s space you can find SolSuite 2008 Full Portable.
Each Time I need something precise, it’s there I often go and find.
I like these guys and their stuff.
What about you?
some interesting stuff in there. You are right, it needs to grow. btw the PJ video was good.
Thanks for your answer Tinhead.
The more they’ll be known, better it’ll be for us too.
I guess you had a look in previous months archives. They really provide good and reliable stuff. The first guy made his site to pay a tribute to John T. Haller. In fact, its NSIS launcher is based on Haller’s one so Apps integrate easily in PortableApps suite.
The links they both provide may be sometimes amazing!
Those look like some nice sites for portable software. Although some of it doesn’t appear to be legal.
Well…How to say…we are all adults aren’t we?
Anyway why denouncing loud at an appearance we all silently guess?
I really thought that was a typic old french behaviour.
I’m really sorry for those guys.
I just asked about stuff quality.
