Keep connection alive by periodically fetching content

The IT admin at dad’s office is a meanie. All users are connected to the intranet by default. They have some sort of login-thing for internet access where each user has to login from their computer with their credentials in order to get connected to the internet. And if a user doesn’t visit a webpage for more than 5 minutes, they get automatically logged out. And running downloads don’t count, so even if my dad has a download going, he gets disconnected if he doesn’t visit/reload a page once every five minutes.
