WebCatalog is a tool to easily create desktop apps from websites. It's an awesome tool, but the free version (Basic account) limits you to 5 apps.

However, I came up with a simple workaround to trick WebCatalog into letting you install as many apps as you want:

All WebCatalog apps are stored at %LocalAppData%\Programs\WebCatalogApps. On startup, WebCatalog makes a list of your installed apps by looking at this folder. If we make it so WebCatalog cannot find this folder, it won't think we have any apps installed, and it will let us install more.

// Copy big file from somewhere else
$src_filepath = 'http://example.com/all_the_things.txt'; $src = fopen($src_filepath, 'r');
$tmp_filepath = '...'; $tmp = fopen($tmp_filepath, 'w');
$buffer_size = 1024;

while (!feof($src)) {                       
   $buffer = fread($src, $buffer_size);     // Read big file/data source/etc. in small chunks
   fwrite($tmp, $buffer);                   // Write in small chunks
