The PC is not suspended. Paused downloads occur when downloading via a web browser (Firefox). After switching from using Network Manager (for managing network connections) to Wicd I have noticed that any download that is started IS completed without any pausing. Seems as though Network Manager has some serious stability/reliability issues. I do wonder why more attention hasn't been paid towards making Network Manager more robust.
Now that I have found the cause of the problem (Network Manager) I would highly recommend people use Wicd until such time Network Manager has been made robust enough that it CAN be used as a reliable GUI tool. Why is Network Manager (at ver 0.9.4) still under version 1.0? Wicd is currently at version 1.7.2.3. Canonical should seriously consider dumping Network Manager in favour of Wicd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003694 Title: Downloads over Wi-Fi never complete -- TL-WN321G Ralink RT2501/RT2573 Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Any download that is done when pause part way through and will never resume. This problem is critical since no vital security updates/new softare can be installed, applications updated to a newer stable version etc. Problem seems to only occur with a Ubuntu 12.04 PC using a TP-Link TL-WN321G Wifi b/g USB adapter. Trying to do the same downloads again after reconnecting to the LAN does not make any difference.
