Do you leave PC on all day/night or switch on/off as required?

All I'll say is Torrents dictates your life somehow

Wait until you download torrents in minutes. It loses its hold on your life rather quickly

My PC runs 24/7.

I only restart it every 1.5 - 2 weeks for a fresh reboot.

I switched it off at the wall plugs. Is this not the same as unplugging? Or turning the plugs off at the main switchboard?

Yup, that should be just as good, as long as your plugs and cables are wired correctly

i leave it on 24/7, also hardware are more likely to fail from constantly switching your pc on and off, cause thats when the most current flows through your components.

I only shut down when I go away for a weekend or a few days. Other than that, I leave everything running with Visual Studio, Outlook and Chrome open so I can continue exactly where I stopped the night before. I only reboot over weekends if I want to log into my gaming partition which runs on Windows 7 but since I haven't done much gaming recently, my PC was up and running for 3 weeks without a reboot until I updated my graphics drivers which caused my PC to freeze up.

On and off when required - usually.

My PC is on when im at home. when im asleep or awake. I download stuff at night most of the time. I turn off the unneeded fans when im sleeping or watching movie or on the interwebs

I ran into a deeply troubling dilemma...I simply ran out of things that I needed to torrent

Life seems devoid of purpose now

[Vixremento]

Always on whenever at home and off when I have to go into the office.
