Prevent Sleep/Suspend while Dowloading or Seeding

[jith45]

Hi!

I plan to run rutorrent on a linux computer used mainly as a media server. Right now the computer goes to sleep after some inactivity timeout and is waken up by the clients when files are requested.

Can rutorrent abort the sleep timeout while downloading/seeding? Is there an option/plugin/script to achieve this?

Thanks!

What Linux distro are you running? Maybe you can set the sleep options to avoid it when rtorrent is running. Or maybe it won't sleep at all since rtorrent might be using the HDD and a running process.
