Yeah. I've used something similar to this before, but never as a cronjob or scheduled task. I can set this up on my Linux servers and it'll work quite well.

It could be AT&T controlling your connection either from ya'll using too much data from a home connection or hosting stuff.

wondering if over the course of a few days if the cache gets overloaded, and then the router is online, but it can't process any traffic.
What Cache?

I don't know, I've heard this complaint from a lot of people on FiOS. It just seems they are using a really terrible router/modem combo thing.

A lot of crappy routers cannot handle the simultaneous connection load of torrents over days and need to be rebooted to clear their connection cache.

Well Dont torrent sounds like your anwser then.
-
I would....get your own internet. fixed. close thread plz.
-
You could always call AT&T and ask them why there connection doesn't work well when you illegally download torrents. Also could ask them why sharing connections between two people isn't working well. They'll be glad to set you up with another account or even a businesses connection. Heck since its FiOS they probably have a way of doing two connections over a single fiber drop .

Why does torrenting have to be illegal? Just answer the question, not an answer in relation to AJ.

Notes:
- FiOS is Verizon not AT&T.
- Crappy routers have nothing to do with the carrier.

That's what I thought. But, He's said they had an AT&T connection before.

You can't expect something to work properly when you are using it in many was outside of the TOS and you don't legally have access to the router either.

Let's assume for a moment that it was the apt manager who was having these problems... what TOS is he breaking? Torrents themselves are not illegal, they can be used for illegal things sure.. so can Cash... should cash be outlawed (yeah I know some in the government think it should be)?
and are you saying he doesn't have legal right to use the internet because he's a sub-tenant of the one who's paying for the service?
I'm guessing that internet access is part of his lease agreement, and as such is the responsibility of the landlord to solve any fees that should be paid for having sub-tenants on the internet connection.
Unless I've missed a post somewhere here where AJ says he's stealing access from his landlord. -

You laugh, but I've actually had this call once. Dumb shit kid was complaining that his downloads were slow. Went through our favorite subcontinent for not understanding shit and got to me at level 3 because I was taking calls as a level 2 guy. The first question I asked was "Where are you downloading from?" "BitTorrent" was his reply. After properly chastising the T1 agent for his inability to ask even the most basic of questions, I promptly educated the customer on the inconsistent nature of distributed downloads.

And no, I'm not stealing access. I was given permission to use his network. Using two networks itself is not illegal, or even breaking the TOS of Verizon. If he uses Verizon's router and it's network and had a separate router and network, that doesn't break any TOS. The main reason I do it is because the wireless signal doesn't reach to my part of the house. Not a big house, but lots of plaster, etc.
