My lovely ISP has decided to disconnect any connection when it is idle (or in my case when the bitcomet was working) so I am trying to find a program to keep the connection online, any ideas of a program that works?

Idle for how long? 3 seconds? 3 hours?

In theory after 30min it disconnects you.
I can't change ISP. I signed with them for a year. Besides, today I lost my job and changing ISP is not my very top priority at the moment. Nevermind, I will just live with it for now. Thanks for the answers guys. |

How about creating a scheduled task that pings www.google.com every 29 minutes, or something like that?

I am afraid that ping would be too small of a bandwidth eh, you know what I mean.
Good idea though. |

Why dont you ask you ISP if there is an "always on" option?
My ISP also disconnects after 20 mins but there's an option where I can change that. |

How about Connection Keeper. I haven't tried a tool like this (never needed it), but it seems okay.
