Transmission not blocking sleep

[D.J.]

Transmission 1.51

I have checked the box "Prevent sleep" but Mac still goes to sleep even with active downloads. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks

Are you doing something like closing the laptop lid? If sleeping is forced, Transmission won't stop it.

[D.J.]

Nope, I don't close the lid. I just leave it alone.

But of course I have in System settings configured that it automatically goes to sleep after 15 minutes. But that's what Transmission should block, right?

Is the hard drive sleeping, or just the screen?

[D.J.]

I'd say also the hard drive (System Settings = Put hard disks to sleep when possible).

Anyway ... Transmission didn't block sleep so I downloaded Caffeine which now blocks sleep when downloading.
