This reminds me of college. Was downloading movie torrents on my laptop while in class, just made it so it wouldn't go to sleep when you closed the lid. So the IT guys kept kicking me off, so I'd change my MAC and keep going. It got to the point where I did that so much that the IT guys were actually going around campus looking for whoever was doing it. Also I changed my MAC so much it fried the wifi card in my laptop to the point it needed replaced lmao. Good times.

    How it got fried? Was it running hot all the time?

    Stupid guess: Maybe the changed mac is written to e.g. an EEPROM and it ran out of write cycles and bugged out then.
