Connection Refresher
  Submitted: 09/22/2002
  By: John Farquharson

Tired of dropped internet connections because you had to leave the computer unattended while downloading? This script will help to keep your connection alive. You return later only to find that your ISP has dropped your connection due to inactivity and your download did not complete. Place this JavaScript on any server and open it in your browser. The page will refresh every 5 minutes (customize to the time length you desire). Leave the page open while you download. This will help to keep your internet connection alive. (The ISP believes that an actual request was made by someone clicking on the browser refresh button and will usually keep the connection alive.) Script includes a visual count-down to the next page refresh. Only one line of code to edit (if you do not require a longer/shorter countdown timeperiod then simply place on your server and open in a browser).

•System Requirements: IE 5.0 & Up / Netscape 4.6 - 6.1 / Opera 6.0
