If HDD turns off, where will the file be saved?
I think not sing a ups could help as well as an smps of lower wattage will also consume less power.

just turn OFF ur monitor ........

That he is already doing.
Just trying to increase your posts, isn't it?;-).

You could also use less RAM like 128 MB if you don't use your PC for anything else.

You could also disconnect other things like your keyboard...mouse......nd any other extra....cards installed....like sound card...or an extra graphics card.......use a single ram module....Disconnect all usb devices BUT certainly dont switch off ur HDD coz den ur download will stop.....
