Automatic Data Waster

README.md

Since creating this tool, I've created a web equalivent here.

Automatic Data Waster

What is this?

This is a Windows Batch File script which will constantly download and delete a 1GB file.

What do I need?

• A computer running Windows (to execute the script)
• An internet connection (the one you want to waste)
• CURL (easiest installation is will Chocolatey: choco install curl)

How do I use it?

1. Download the script (Using CURL: curl -L -o "Data Waster.bat" https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Richienb/cd250cbb915acdfa04e8b1a527b71379/raw/5248c10420bb6580f464689960e91708ea41a6fe/Data%2520Waster.bat)
2. Run the script
3. Your internet will now be forever wasted (until you close the commandline window)

What happens if I terminate the script

In short, nothing bad will happen

There will likely be a file which is named something like largefile-1488 in the execution directory. You will need to delete this file to clean up.

Data Waster.bat
