when iam downloading at night time i go to bed and leave my pc downloading exspecting my download to be finished in the morning but my downloads seams to slow down when i am away from my computer as if the pc goes into idel mode what do you think might be the problem.
hi
im not too sure, but i turn off the power saving "turn off HDD" thing, cos i guess that could cause probs, also, make sure you're using one of the speed up tools, to make sure that, as other people disconnect, you reconnect to others
how do turn off the hdd thing
You turn it off by rightclicking on your desktop and chosing(sp?) the option futhest from where you clicked, it's called properties or something like that. There you go to the page for the screen saver. On that page you have a thing called properties or something like it and under that you can turn it off. It might be slightly different in whatever operating system you use.

I assume you have some teaching qualification, most likely in IT.
As an alternative to the above you could try
Control Panel
Power Options
If you can't work it out from there, get up very slowly, walk away from the computer and never touch it again.

How many of your 237,987 (just anticipating what it will be in the 5 minutes it takes you to answer this) posts have involved just a wee smiley face.
