Hi,<br><br>You can ease the download pain by using a download manager, if you are not already doing so.<br>Works for 80% of the cases and saves your time and data bundle. The auto resume feature will also reduce your frustration levels.<br>

I have been experiencing drops whenever the Safaricom modem changes frequencies eg by moving from UMTS  to HSPDA. Also there where 2 days last week that the modem kept disconnecting even when in use. I suspect its a problem on the safcom network side becasue i was experiencing the problem in the same location yet it was not there for other days. <br>

Mickey, you are on point.

Hogging that is &quot;To save on the scarce radio resource, mobile operators have an IDLE timer that deactivates an idle session&quot; as put, Now the question is when you are downloading the line s not Inactive so why terminate?<br>

<br></div><div>To prevent my modem from going off during periods of inactivity(so that I can reach it on the same public IP away from home/office), I maintain a continuous ping to some URL/Public host. Sometimes my application fails to work and I want to reach while away, so I ensure that the modem doesn&#39;t become idle. You can tell a modem is idle by the intensity of the blue(3G) or green(EDGE) light. Low intensity denotes inactivity; bright/strong intensity means its active DL/Uplinking stuff.</div>
