Quote from: jagfug on February 25, 2013, 04:43 amAs far as being worried about tying up the SR, or adding to the load on the servers. Just staying logged in, and not doing anything does nothing. It only uses the servers when you send a command. Going to another screen, etc. You could think you're logged on, because you see the same screen from across the room. Then you go to change screens, and you get that "cannot connect" message. The screen you left it on is just your computers memory holding that image. So as far as being worried that you're tying up the server. No worries there. You're only "using" the network, when you send a command. (Send or Receive obviously)LOL! And out of left field comes Jagfug, with an excellent and unexpected point. Man, I swear, the difference between you on speed and off speed is like day and night. You have to have ADHD :PHe's totally right though; I just assumed by "stay signed in," the OP was talking about the Tor network and not SR itself, but again, Jagfug's totally right. There are times when data is sent and received whether you see it or not and whether you initiate it or not, but the principle is 100% correct.
