Prevent sleep when downloading a video #463

I've had a few downloads truncated by my computer entering sleep mode while downloading a video. Race Control then marks the download as finished - which might be an issue of its own - even if it's not complete.

It would be nice to have control over Windows' sleep mode while downloading. Something like Microsoft's Power Toys is a simple enough work-around, but manual, and prevents sleep for potentially way too long, where Race Control could allow sleep again once all downloads are finished.

This tool will keep the PC awake while it is running and the source code has examples on how to prevent sleep.
