Dropped From Internet Due To Inactivity

by janenolan - 4/20/07 7:29 AM

Every time I am uploading a file to YouTube, (after 3 hours) I get a popup asking if I want to stay connected. I usually upload and then go to bed as it can take over 4 hours to upload a large 100MB file. If I am not at the computer I get dropped from the internet.

Is there any program that will run and fool the ISP into thinking I am still on the computer? I seem to remember reading about such a program.

happy I can help you solve your problem. I am a Dial-Up ISP. I would be happy to help you with your problem buddy. Okay here is a quick tutorial on how to not get disconnected.

1. Download Mozilla Firefox
2. Visit The Firefox Website
3. Download ReloadEvery
4. Right Click and select ReloadEvery.
5. Set Reload Every At A Custom Setting. Maybe Every 1 Minute.
6. After Setting 1 Minute The Webpage automatically reloads every 1 minute.
7. The ISP will think you are using it and they will let you stay connected.

Buddy, go to Google and download modem speed boosters. You are using a 56k modem for dial-up. I make sure all my customers get a booster. It boost their 56k modem to 300x the speed. laugh

she fixed that problem five years ago. Did you notice the date of that post? Or are you just a SPAM-bot.
