The best I can think of is unplug all non-essential hardware (I am
assuming, you can't do frequency scaling, google that) --
non-essential hardware even includes video adapter (but you need to
disable stop on certain errors in BIOS). Unplug mouse, keyboard,
CD/DVD drives, switch off speakers etc. :p

I think that's the best you can do, unless you get a low power PC for
just downloading purposes.
