I don't know actually. Maybe the notification activity is actually keeping it active. But it is more likely that the users are plugged into power. Downloads also have a timeout and up to three retries. Are you saying that the device will turn off wifi/network before it goes into power save and shuts down the whole thing? Maybe I need the wakelock, but now you have me worried about trying it, if it will cause other problems. Right now, I believe I will shut down on battery power and then continue when restarted. If I acquire a wakelock, then I will probably run the battery down for sure if the download takes hours.
