I don't think Energy Saver looks at network activity when deciding
whether or not to sleep (see Apple's  knowledge base articles) though it
may actually wake from sleep if there is networkactivity. And certainly
the other programs that deal with Energy Saver problems only seem to
look at keyboard and mouse activity.

I've tried lots of things at various times, fresh user, disconnecting
any external USB drives and hubs, resetting Power Management. Nothing
worked, and the various threads on Apple discussions and elsewhere do
indicate that there are many different issues involved. I finally
decided it was not worth investigating further, and that using one of
the third-party programs was by far the simplest answer. Unfortunately
all the programs I have tried prevent sleep only when there is mouse or
keyboard activity, not hard drive activity, and certainly not network
activity.

I will certainly keep looking at svrPowerControl and install it when it
is7.4 compatible.
