Things to leave your computer doing overnight?
Yes, I feel like creating threads today. Perhaps caused my disappointment of seeing the spam thread so dead when it used to get over 30 posts per day at its zenith, not so long ago (although it feels like it).
Anyway, the title says it all. I'm leaving my netbook running overnight, connected to the Internet, and would like suggestions on how to make it do something other than wasting electricity and using one of my ISP's allocated IP addresses.
This is what I'm already doing:
- leaving a large jDownloader queue running to steal those files while I sleep
- seeding my torrents (upload speed gets tripled during the night; already uploaded a few dozen GBs this way)
This is what I don't plan to do:
- leaving IRC/any IM programs connected on "away", or auto-refreshing SB-I, to make it look like I'm always online. Absolute waste of bandwidth.
- running SETI, Folding@home or that kind of programs. I don't want to strain my netbook, and I doubt we're going to find the cure for cancer that way. If we ever do, you'll have my most sincere apology. :gsmile:
Thanks in advance!
