Shutdown a website: Will this work? Just checking.

Ok, this is just so i can buy more time for the many homework assignments i get in my AP bio class. She hosts the assignments on a FREE earthlink.net server thing, when she can only use 10mb. The usage of her site can only reach 1gb, and that is calculated by: how people visit the site X amount of space of the 10mb she is using to host files. What happens when the 1gb limit is reached? The site goes bye bye:

http://home.earthlink.net/overquota.html

The 1gb limit 'reloads' at the beginning of each calender month, i.e. october.

It's almost october, and i found this script on Userscripts.org that refreshes any page every 3 minutes. I'm on firefox, so i am using greasemonkey, and the script work. (i tried it on CF)

I would just have to leave my computer on allday and night for her site to be shutdown right?

Alright thanks,

Btw, i hope this isn't against forum rules.
 
Do you submit the homework online? Does she have physical copies? If either, the last one more than the first, then this would be useless.
 
Also, you would have to make sure it purges the cache or when you refresh you will hardly even make a scratch in her bandwidth since most things are cached. A fun thing in firefox, download the Speed Dial addon, put that page on all 9 speed dial blocks and have them all refresh every 10 seconds (i think thats the minimum)
 
i think every host is different. mine for example doesn't shut the site down or do anything differently at all, I just receive an inflated bill to cover the overages at the beginning of the next cycle. the extra charges are usually minuscule enough that no one would even care. every host is different, but i would make sure you know exactly what will happen before you invest too much time into doing this
