| 9356 | 2001-02-28 07:20:00 | When I am downloading and it takes some time, my internet provider disconnects me as they seem to think the computer has been idle for some time. (And I have not been idle) It is a real bother as my download stops and will have transfer errors and I have to start all over again. By disconnecting me every time I remain online far longer. If they only would leave me to do what I want to do, I will be online for only half the time. Is there anyone who has a solution? |

| 9358 | 2001-02-28 10:26:00 | what isp? how bad are your phonelines? normally i would say get a new isp, but it could be your lines. you may need to slow your modem down to match the lines. it will be slow but stable. eg a mates phone lines are really noisy, if you try to connect at 56k he gets dropped withen 10-15 min. if he limits it to 31k it will stay on almost permantly. | Guest (0) | ||
