Mindspring/Earthlink likes to kick me off if I sit for 30 mins idle.

now if I use something to ping the server to keep my connection alive I can stay on longer although I still get dropped after about 8 or so hours.

My record is 7 days something on a WinME machine, should be able to top that now I'm running 2K. 190MB?! Bah! I average, average 300MB a day when connected @ 44,000bps.

My best transfer's are 4.6GB uploaded and 2.1GB downloaded on a single 4 day connection. Here's a screenshot from early (only 1 day into) my downloading/uploading spree.

One of my Win2k Servers has been up 17 weeks and is averaging 2GB/day upstream.....not downstream, upstream!
