Jiggler

Jiggler came in very handy for me and it might be useful to you. This application basically ‘jiggles’ your mouse for you so your Mac doesn’t drift off to sleep interrupting a download or something else. Jiggler will keep your Mac awake. Think of it as Red Bull for your Mac.
I was trying to download a large file. But, the download kept getting interrupted because my Macbook would go into sleep mode. Jiggler to the rescue. Simply set Jiggler to jiggle at regular intervals and leave it. Of course, you could change the prefs every time you need your mac to stay awake for long periods of time, but that’s a drag.
Jiggler is freeware. Yup, free. Download it here.
