Computer goes to sleep while downloading files

wxDownload Fast should take care of telling the underlying Operating System to not entering sleeping or stanby states, so the computer doesn't sleep while there are downloads in progress.
Tested in Windows 7.
I file this into "bugs" and not into "feature requests", as it's an unexpected behavior that doesn't follow the behaviour expected by the user.
More info:
"It is the duty of the downloading program to reset the system idle timer by calling SetThreadExecutionState with ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED."
