What was your LONGEST SESSION on Computer ?

[Orien]

20ish hours probably working on mitigating a 4gbps DDoS.

[Digitalfox]

Right now, this machine I'm typing has a up time of 27 days Windows 7 RC ( and It's not my home server, that has also an up time of 39 days running 2008 R2, but it's just a file server with some P2P from time to time )..

The reason this PC has 27 days up time is because I just came back from my 4 weeks in the beach and left it doing some encoding of h264 videos that took 23 days :laugh:

Oh man my electricity bill will be nuts :(

[StevoJD]

17 hours.

BF2142 is a hell of a drug.

[hjf288]

2 years for my wrt54gl units (x3) and over a year and a half for my 2k3 virtual host server (Hosting a linux web platform + RTMP)

3 months for my vista system

Longest time playing is 18 hours

[ilovetech]

longest time with my computer is around 13-14hours in a stretch working on a project with a strict deadline.

longest uptime when downloading is around 48hours.

Not long, as I usually buy DVD's from a shop :rolleyes:

At least his "ADSL" is 256KBPs.That's pretty much faster than the whole of NZ.

My longest up-time is 14days, 8 hoursish - with Windows 7. I only restarted because there were updates.

I don't actually see any point in turning it off anymore...

the single longest session i've ever had in front of a computer was in 2000, and i spent a solid 4 and a half days (108 hours, thats right) on irc continously to push my limits of how long i could stay awake for.

Obviously i went to the toilet and got drinks/food etc but yeah apart from those 5/10 minute "rests", 108 hours is indeed my longest session.

Longest time i've left a computer on for? 6 weeks and a handful of hours (Windows Server 2003 on a spare machine)

If we're talking about servers, flip...6 months..?

[Stephen.]

Like a day. :laugh:

[Funworld]

Usually it is unlimited...5-10 should be an average guideline I guess.

I think the longest I've let the computer running was roughly 20 some days. I wanted to see how long I could push this computer to run.

and at twenty days it started walking?

surely a modern computer can run for months and months.

I played around 18 hours when I tried the World of Warcraft trial for the first time.

I just kept playing. I wanted to know more about the defias and I wanted to level up my character . It was kind of movie where I wanted to see the end. Later i found out lots more about the game and how big it was...

[Arrakiv]

Uh, well over a hundred days, easily. Probably more like 200+.

... But that was also my server. :-P

My desktop has probably gone around 50 - 75ish, I'd say at most. I was running Linux primarily for a long time, wasn't doing a lot of heavy stuff on it (aside running some games in Wine - which caused plenty of crashes, but nothing that needed a restart), and never shut the machine down.

I had a random UPS too, which helped the very brief power outages/flickers.

Oh, right. And the most time I've spent on a computer? I have no idea... but, I'm sure it was well over 16 hours. I blame MMOs, personally, but I haven't done that for a long time.

[mokthraka]

maybe 12 hours? but my brother left his laptop on for around 6-8 months he closed it but never shut it off

[Orange]

When i was out of work i was on my pc alot... But most i've been on from was at 2pm till 2pm next day, playing counter strike source :p damm i was a pig back then lol :p

[thealexweb]

Erm this might sounds a bit rubbish, 2 days didn't want to push my laptop, it runs very hot sometimes, despite having 3 fans built in.

[tablet_user]

I dont spend long amounts of time on my pc at a time but this pc hasnt been shut off in 3 yrs (minus update resets).

[KeeperOfThePizza]

Longest time in front of the computer(except for bathroom and food).... 1 week. Had a lot of personal issues going on... Havent done that since 2002.

[Laurë Veteran]

Desktop uptime must have been a max 7 or 10 days. Server uptime went to about 40 days, then I had to move, then I got bored of it being a server ..

As for actually sitting in front of a PC, I've had a few 15 hour days.

[Chosen One]

Longest I've been on was when I was gaming when I was on unemployment :D 16 hours Battlefield 2 :)

Ah those were the days..

you reminded me with the dark days before I got DSL and I was downloading stuff too and browsing with no limits on time :cry: !

How much your phone bill came in the end :huh: ? at least how many digits number it was ? :whistle:

lol :D I had a 56kbps unlimited plan which included internet usage + tel line usage. So it was just like the DSL rentals we usually have but with highly low speed.

I just wonder now that I was doing such things with that poor line. :blink:

[buckboii]

longest time spent on a pc. i say like 12 hours.. why? games. warcraft, it is addicting.

longest time w/o shutting pc off is like couple days. didnt feel like shutting it off.

[Dc'1]

Ehh, like 2 days is probably the longest it's stayed on lol. Because I was out and couldn't turn it off :p

[petrossa]

72 hours with pitstops. Had sold a large client a custom fin/admin multiuser system. On paper. Whilst building it, i discovered that (when to app was 3/4) an essential piece of code failed in 80286 EMM mode when on a Novell network..

I went nuts. Finally managed to rewrite it in assembly.?

[OOOOOOOO]

Longest time at my computer and longest time I had my computer on may be two different things ...

I can only say the longest I ever sat at my computer ...

I was doing a design job for three clients and juggling them all ... they all lived different timezones so I stayed on my PC for 52 ... yes ... FIFTY TWO SOLID hours ... ONE toilet break ... and one 5 min pot noodle break.

I have never been so freaking ill in my life as I was after that. I've done 46 hours before too. It's a staple of my life to do stupid hours, but that one took the biscuit! Seriously deprived of sleep, I was seeing things by the end of that one ... worst thing was, I went to bed, and couldn't sleep ... I was buzzing!

:D

[.Kompressor]

I used to spend the longest hours on the computer when I first got broadband ADSL....moving away from the painfull dialup lol that was like throwing gasoline on a fire...

I'd go 12 hours and sometimes 24 hours...or so....it would be like 11 am and then I hit the sack and wake up again at 6pm start all over again...downloading any and everything I found....and experimenting with my computers I would build or buy. etc..

Other times were playing Games...., Warcraft II tides of darkness, and later America's Army was my first long gaming sessions...24 hours before going to sleep playing....I did again recently with battlefield 2 and COD4.... lol time flies when your having fun...suddenly the sun is shining through the windows.

[Amberjhons]

The longest time i spent was only 5 hours,downloading sth.
