Prevent network to disconnect in sleep mode

[doalex]

Hi !

I noticed that my network is shutting down when my computer go in sleep mode. However, sometimes there is remaining activities that I would like to go on while in sleep mode. For example, if I'm downloading some big files, it stops because of this.
Is there a way to prevent network to shut down in sleep mode ?

I dont use WiFi, its a cable network.

Thanks !

On Settings > Energy there's an option to disable WI-FI to save energy but not sure if works for cable network and when standing-by , see if disabling it the network stays on. Also, you should be able to check your plugged router/modem settings about automatic device switch off. An alternative is setting that when lid is closed (for laptops) or when idle for a certain time the pc doesn't stand-by, it just loads a black screen so that option on Energy maybe doesn't activate to stop your network.

So far, like you said the only solution is to disable the sleep mode.

I've tried the WiFi thing, but it does nothing since it's not the same interface.

I will wait, maybe someone else have a solution.

Thanks !

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Change to a value of 2 to disable the powersave. It should look like

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2

Tap ctrl+x to exit the editor, then the y key to say yes to save, the enter key to save current configuration.

yes the solution is to disable the sleep mode, but instead of doing that manually, it will be better to be automatically, when downloading running disable sleep mode ,when no downloaing running run sleep mode.
the solution for that is to do it by script, or by using download manger apps have those features.
for example:fdm(free download manger) app has that features:

Disable sleep mode(suspend) during download large file (dynamic ways)

I do search about disable sleep mode(suspend) while downloading large files but with dynamic or automatic ways. i found that: 1-there r download apps have these features in it like fdm: [image] 2-there r download apps have event scripter plugin(jdownloader): that can allow u to add command to disable sleep mode on download starting and enable it at event download stopped. xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/inactivity-on-ac -s 0 (that command in xfce, if anyone know t…

Thanks for all your answers/solutions.

I will do as you say, and use software to download that prevents sleeping mode while active. OR disable sleep mode, and just close the screen.

Another option is prevent sleep occurring, by installing and running Caffeine that fools the machine that the mouse is active.
