It goes down quite frequently because I have automatic updates enabled. However all of my stuff automatically starts as services so I usually don't notice for a day or two until I want to sit down and game a bit ^_^ For a while it was running Arch Linux though and it didn't have a second of downtime for like 6 months. Oh, and my router & modem both currently have an uptime of 9 months (the power went out.)

Nice
my laptop has now been running for about 3 weeks now nonstop. Ram usage has steadily been climbing the entire time too, but i think that can be blamed on firefox with the 640Mb and growing footprint xD

same here.my lenovo Y410 laptop, running on vista+bitcomet 0.64 now has reached 3month and 12 days uptime.without any cooling pad,and still work tirelessly.
think to give some rest and windows update to that laptop a.k.a torrent slave next week.
Sosseres:
Sigh, if windows updates didn't come monthly *sigh*. I've always only owned the one computer I do everything on (which changes through time), so about 2 months and 3 weeks, then I had to restart due to the ~15 things that had wanted a system restart at that point...

How do you guys keep it up so long? I go for one week and I'm already tempted to do a restart, which I did.

simple, we ignore updates and try not to fuck our computers up in the meantime. thats all i do and i can maintain my computer being up for up to 3 months before resources and/or certain processes begin to become strained, and i have to do a full restart before a BSOD strikes
mgz:
only thing that shuts my computer down at work is power outages once every 2 or 3 months my pc at home has been goin strong for a couple months without restart now.
And as far as keeping them up and running, i dont use virus or spyware scanners, i hardly ever windows update except when i do fresh installs, and then use noscript and adblocker and popupblocker on firefox.
Combined with common sense i never really need restarts except video card drivers
