[QUOTE="Giantegg, post: 875524, member: 111152"] [b]same problem[/b] Hi guys, Sorry to bump an oldish thread but it's the only one I've found with a problem similar to mine! I work in IT at a school and rely on puling down big downloads over night so as not to pinch too much bandwidth from the students -just like tomdesaulniers, when the monitor turns off, downloads pause. They can be restarted easily the next morning, and sometimes even moving the mouse to wake the screen is enough to reinitialize the download. Power settings are set to never sleep hard disks, computer set to never turn off & monitor (for now) also set to never sleep, just because I need some important downloads. But any help to save some power (and the life of my monitor) would be appreciated Cheers in advance [/QUOTE]
