Happy new year! So I thought I'd start the new year by sorting out a problem that's anoyed me for awhile. I sometimes use itunes to 'rent' a film - it normally takes 4 hours or so to download said film. However I do this on the pc connected to my tv which is set to go to sleep after 30minutes inactivity (running vista). I like the fact it goes to sleep as it measn the pc can wake up, record something and go back to sleep. But the problem is that itunes doesn't stop the pc going to sleep while it's downloading; so basically i have to force the computer not to sleep otherwise my films never download. Any ideas to get round this? (ps. are there any better options for online film rentals than itunes).
