your laptop so bad that it cant stay on overnight?
I don't like to leave my old crappy laptop on and unattended for long, either. I don't know about Laurenzo11's, but my power adapter or the laptop itself tends to overheat if anything is on it... like a cat who likes to lay on warm objects.
When I have long af downloads, (as it happened I, too, had to re-download the epw client due to the same problem) I like to make it a movie night, play xbox, mess with photoshop, or do housework and such to keep occupied while I wait and keep at least half an eye on it.
