Description
Many Internet Service Providers (ISP) disconnect your computer when they detect a lack of Internet access for a certain amount of time. You must then reconnect your computer in order to continue your Internet session. Rasputin simulates network activity to help keep your Internet connection alive. Rasputin is very simple to use and works discreetly in the background.

Updates

v2.0 on 2007-11-15:

Improved the effectiveness of the network activity simulator.
Added an option to start Rasputin automatically when a user logs on.
Updated the software to comply with Vista requirements. Previously, the program and its installer ran on Vista in compatibility mode. Now, they run on Vista in native mode, comply with UAC and other Vista technologies, and are digitally signed with an Authenticode certificate to ensure their integrity and authenticity. These major enhancements provide a better and safer experience when running the software on all supported Windows versions.
Redesigned the application to use the Unicode standard and improve its Windows integration and multilingual support.
Redesigned the installer to use Microsoft MSI technology and comply with recent Windows guidelines.
Upgrading to this major update requires a licensing fee for existing customers who are licensed to use older versions.
