Running programs requires a CPU. As Alan said, off is off, hibernate is off, suspend is off. When the CPU is off, nothing happens. There is no way to run a program while the CPU is off. With another low-power device like an NSLU2 can can leave it on, run a bittorrent client on there, and not worry too much about the power. > > On 29/04/2008, Sean Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 2:40 PM, Javad Ayaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > maybe a "torrents only" could be looked for a future ubuntu...where when > yu shut the pc...everything shuts down bar whatever is needed (i.e CPU > running at 10% of normal power consumption mode)!!!? :) > > > > > > If you run a command line torrent client rather than a graphical client > I'm pretty sure that if the laptop "hibernates" that will keep running in > the background already. > > > > I'm FAIRLY sure this is the case - sure somebody else on here would be > able to correct me if I'm wrong. > > > > Sean > > > > -- > > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > > https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/ > > > > > > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/ > > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
