Can anyone tell me some random, yet useful, applications/programs/any computer freeware that would take a night's sleep to download?

I want to have my computer on for long consecutive hours without it doing anything<besides the obvious>.

Thanks.

Ahh, using your computer as a space heater are we? If so, you can't really get any better than some sort of distributed computing project.

Anyways when you say you want something that would take a long time to download, you should give us an idea of your connection speed. "A night's sleep" worth of downloading on my connection would fill like 500 gigabytes. I doubt there is much out there that is that big.

I've got something big, long, and free in my pants.


But I'm not gay, so you're out of luck.

Debian Etch was released recently. I think that filled 3 DVDs if you wanted all of it.
Or just a simple Knoppix DVD. It's always handy to have one lying around.

There used to be a site that let you do that. Dunno if it is around any more, though.

... So just leave it running. Turn off Sleep/Hibernation/whatever it does when you leave it be and just walk away from it. Why would you need to download something?

The first descriptor means you're not talking about your penis soooo... :v:

Ohh no. We have failed to please you.

Who would have imagined that we are not Internet mind readers. And that we wouldn't be able to suggest something to satiate your need of more :downswords: in your life.

Seriously.

I fail to see how my suggestion doesn't help. It does EXACTLY what you WANT it to do according to your post, without any downloading of stuff.
