    What do you mean by "timing out".
    Is it simply the screensaver coming on or similar.
    If that's the case just keep moving the mouse to keep it awake.

    If you use a downloader program like flashget classic 1.73, and if the server allows resuming downloads, you can start it again if it stops. There are also "Keep Alive" settings in some downloaders that will keep the connection open if it times out and allows the download time to continue (they might work by reseting the timeout before it can trigger). I think some browser downloaders have plugin support if they do not have it in the settings.
