Broadband + Windows Suspend

GreeBo · 2004-08-11 00:20:57

Hey, probably a mad question but... when you "suspend" windows XP, does your Broadband/LAN connection live on i.e. will stuff continue to download or does it stop coz the drive isnt spinning or what? Yunno the more I think about it, the more I think no. :( Anyone got any good ideas for minimizing the noise/heat from a pc…

Anyone got any good ideas for minimizing the noise/heat from a pc that you want to leave downloading something?

No it won't continue to download. Try asking in the.... erm..... tweaking/modding board about how to quiet stuff down. Actually, I'll just move this over there now.
