I've been using this code for "waiting" time:


But now I have to write something that will pause for 18000 seconds..
I can't use the previews code because pinging my computer for 18000 seconds would cause my internet connection to, significantly, slow down.

My questions is if there is another way then pinging my computer..
I could ping a website but I just need another way..

Thanks!

A mmm... Another way to wait?
Need to create a 60 minutes delay in my DOS script

Are you sure it impacts the Internet ?

I understood that Ping sent a harmless echo request and the Operating system might retry at 1 second intervals,
but it is only a few bytes sent each second, plenty of bandwidth left for downloading and browsing.

Positive.
A drop from 20KB/s to .4KB/s...
That sure affects internet..

Thanks for the link found out that the best option for "waiting" is, as Ed Dyreen wrote:
