"BTinternet 2 Hour cut off"

Hi,

Does anyone know how to stop the 2 hour cut off with BTinternet?

I managed to do it once before, but can't remember how I did it!

Thanks very much,

Darron.

Its when I'm downloading stuff like, big game demos, Internet explorer (the ones on cover disks come out much later than on microsoft's website, I like to get it first), and free utilities, they might not exactly be available in the shops, things like CD making programs and extra software for perepherals like Psion Wavefinder. Believe it or not, a lot of these are above 30mb.

I also don't like coverdisks as normmaly they have adverts on the program. The coverdisk version of Internet Explorer had PC Plus written all over it. I really can't be bothered to remove all this some other way.

I need to get broadband!!

Must be one of those Adult Video Clips ;o)

But Gozilla is a greta program, just slows down your Internet Browsing, so go and do something else while your Downloading Big Files.

Erm, you get cut off in the middle of a download after 2 hours? On my modem, that's a 30Mb download ... and there aint many of those around. At least, not that I'm interested in. First sight of one of those, and I'm off to WHS to look for cover disks.

yeah you used to be able to open a comand propt window and just ping a web site but that don't work any more, if you want to stay connected longer get ADSL it 24/7 :)

Get something like Gozilla that will resume when you reconnect, and set your connection to auto connect, then as soon as BT cut you off, it'll re-dial and resume the download.

Btinternet cuts me off after 2 hours, maybe you're just lucky.
Its annoying when i'm trying to download a big file.

I'm on BTInternet, and they've never actually cut me off after two hours, I don't know why!

There was a way but as far as I know they've disabled it, and made it very illegal to mess around with that kind of thing. Not a good idea.
