WMWifiRouter works great, and I am a big fan. But I find it is not a good solution if you want to use BitTorrent. I have unlimited data on the SERO plan - I've used as much as 25GB in a month and never heard a peep from Sprint about trying to charge me for tethering *knocks on wood* - and I pretty much use my Mogul as my only internet connection when I'm at home. True, this is not quite as good as DSL or Roadrunner, but I live alone (so no one else needs constant internet) and it saves me $80 a month not buying internet, so there you go.

Anyway, long story short, I would be very greatful if anyone would share solutions for getting a data connection that can last 8 - 12 hours (to run BitTorrent overnight) without either (i) disconnecting after a few hours because the battery died; or (ii) disconnecting at random times because the connection was lost.

So far, I find that I never lose my connection with WMWifiRouter, but the battery dies after about 4-5 hours. PDANet lasted slightly longer before battery would die, but also sometimes disconnects randomly.

I just upgraded to WM 6.1 (I'm using the official Sprint ROM), but I did the easy (and well explained) registry hacks to get ICS working on Sprint PCS. I'm still testing ICS (on about day 3), but so far my internet connection lasts for at most an hour and sometimes only 3-5 minutes before I have to click "Connect" again on ICS.

Is anyone here currently able to keep their internet actively running for 8-12 hours like this? Like I said, this is primarily so I can run BitTorrent, so aside from this last specific use let me say I am extremely satisfied with my Mogul (had mine a little over a year now).

Anyway, if anyone has been able to consistently maintain an internet connection for 8-12 hours, I would love to hear how.

Many thanks.
