My Windows machine woke itself up from hibernation while I was at work. An obscure torrent that was stuck at ~80% for almost a year completed during this time.

Funnily enough, I have a high ratio for that torrent. I’ve shared that first 80 odd percent dozens of times. I’ll keep it in my daily driver list of permaseeds for sure.

It has to be a driver thing from my side. I use a laptop that’s made by a Chinese ODM, so driver support for the onboard stuff can be a bit lacking after the following model releases. It’s just how it is. My LAN adapters’ settings have wake-on-LAN disabled.

I think something about the sleep state isn’t working quite right because of that. Windows’ own Event Viewer reporting system will just tell me it exited a sleep state for an unknown reason.

Edit: I might have replied to the wrong comment lol. Should be some Wake-On-Lan thing in your case, I think.
