Our tests were executed with very large file transfers, and our customers see
the same thing - the PC may go to sleep while downloading over our network
device, but not over other connections. We set the sleep time to 1 minute to
test this.
So you are saying that Windows should always go to sleep, regardless of
ongoing downloads etc?
Do you think it would be a good idea for our driver to veto the system sleep
event in order to delay the sleep until the download is complete (i.e. by
measuring network activity in some way) ?
Thanks,
