Like the subject says, can I keep my internet connection from timing out, so I can download P7 ?
AMD 3600, 2gig ram, XP pro, IE6, DSL
Thanks

I would use a download manager so that if your connection times out you will be able to resume your downloading from where it stopped.
I use one called "Free Download Manager" Which I have found to be excellent.

Hi..hopefully following may resolve the issue...
Click Start > Connect To > Show All Connections...
Select your Broadband account icon
Right Click > Properties
Click Options and under 'Idle time before hanging up' check to see of it is selected to "never" of not then choose 'never'
Other options open to you is to fool around in the registry which I don't recommend unless you have some experience doing so.
All the best!

It also depends where it times out. If it times out at the end you might have a problem with the combination of firewall and browser. Changing browser and/or the settings of the firewall might solve the problems.
