if your just downloading and using what 1% of the hard drives power. its basicly no power at all. all its really powering is the hard drive and thats just a few watts a hour. So heres what you do to be a real smart ass. go to the local hardware store and buy a box of those compact florecent energy saver lights that are as bright as 60 watt bulbs and only take 15 watts to run. replace the normal 60 watt bulbs around the house and tell them your saving money even with your computer on. then yell at them every time they leave one of the normal 60 watt bulbs on when they leave the room.
