Guy's - need a bit of help. I'm running an XP2200 AMD, 512ram, 64mbGforce graphics, BT ADSL internet connection (512kbps), with XP Pro. I am using programs such as soulseek/kazaa/bittorrent to download apps/music/progs etc. As the downloads are usually large in size I set it up to download over night, leaving the PC on. However, when I look at it the next morning the downloads are "hanging" and not downloading. The internet connection is still active, but the downloads just seem to stop working for whatever reason. They also appear to do it shortly after I go to bed (the percentages complete in the morning are very close to where they were in the evening making me think it does it early in the night).

do you think having a screen-saver could be the problem? or perhaps having my monitor turn off after 30mins?

when I close and restart the downloads in the morning they start up again no hassle.

any ideas?
