True, this is not quite as good as DSL or Roadrunner, but I live alone (so no one else needs constant internet) and it saves me $80 a month not buying internet, so there you go.

Anyway, long story short, I would be very greatful if anyone would share solutions for getting a data connection that can last 8 - 12 hours (to run BitTorrent overnight) without either (i) disconnecting after a few hours because the battery died; or (ii) disconnecting at random times because the connection was lost.

So far, I find that I never lose my connection with WMWifiRouter, but the battery dies after about 4-5 hours. PDANet lasted slightly longer before battery would die, but also sometimes disconnects randomly.

I just upgraded to WM 6.1 (I'm using the official Sprint ROM), but I did the easy (and well explained) registry hacks to get ICS working on Sprint PCS. I'm still testing ICS (on about day 3), but so far my internet connection lasts for at most an hour and sometimes only 3-5 minutes before I have to click "Connect" again on ICS.

Is anyone here currently able to keep their internet actively running for 8-12 hours like this? Like I said, this is primarily so I can run BitTorrent, so aside from this last specific use let me say I am extremely satisfied with my Mogul (had mine a little over a year now).

Anyway, if anyone has been able to consistently maintain an internet connection for 8-12 hours, I would love to hear how.

Many thanks.

I use WMWifiRouter and keep the charger plugged in. I keep the keyboard open and if it's hot then even point a fan at it to keep it from overheating. I haven't had any issues and have used it overnight. I use it all the time when I go out of town.
