I am looking for a windows script/program to reload a webpage every few minutes (or whatever time I can specify).

This is my scenario:

I remotely access my computer which is dedicated for torrents with the uTorrent WebUI. When I add a Bitfarm torrent and the PC has been off or I have logged on from a different location, I add the torrent and I get the "Hostname not recognized, please log onto Bitfarm" error on the torrent and therefore it doesn't download.

I just need something that will refresh the Bitfarm home page so that when I add a torrent, I don't have to connect to the PC with UltraVNC and manually refresh it myself.
 
My Firefox, I think by virtue of having the Tabmix Plus add-on installed, gives me a drop-down list when I right-click on any page with options to refresh every 5 seconds to 30 minutes.
 
Then I shall try both options :)

Can I set it to do it when I'm not even at the PC tho? So that it does it automatically at browser startup?
 
Not sure with Opera. Actually in the newer versions I'm not sure if it has the option by default, in older ones you just right clicked on a page and the option was in the menu, I had to add a special button from here, http://operawiki.info/CustomButtons#alternate, with 9.6, not sure about newer versions.
 
I just remembered that I'd done coding on this before with a simple html website I've put together!

Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">
</head>
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="http://www.google.co.za">
</FRAMESET>
</html>

I think that should work :)
