How do I stop my computer from timing out when I'm downloading a video or software

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.

No its not my screen saver it shows a window and say's it can not
Complete the download couse it timed out

That's a problem with the server you are downloading from..

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.
