Hi,

No screen saver please. This will kill your machine quicker. You can put your computer to sleep but keep the wireless card awke by using the following steps

(a) Open Device Manager,

(b) Expand Networks adapters,

(c) Right click Wireless adapter and select Properties,

(d) Go to Power Management tab

        

(e) Untick Allow .....

Regards.

You do NOT want the computer to go to "sleep".

So, in "Control Panel" or "Settings", select the "Power" settings.

Set the computer to "presentation-mode" or "maximum performance" mode.

You may set the computer to "dim" or "sleep" the display, because that will not affect the download.
