Scrapper disconnects when screensaver comes in.

Had a bad time scrapping 5k+ roms. I noticed that every time at 20-30 scrapped roms it was disconnecting or not responding somehow.

To solve this, I just disabled the screensaver.

Maybe is lacking for some condition or something interiring with the scrapping process when the screensaver comes out.

*Excuse my english. Not my main language tho.

I believe I'm seeing the same issue but it seems to be due to Power Saving, which itself is influenced by the screensaver settings. What happens is the scraper disables power saving when starting. But it's re-enabled by the IList component when presenting the results. It stays enabled afterwards and the UI freezes and async http tasks stop being updated as soon as it kicks in. UI updating and scraping both resume when a controller or keyboard event is received. This probably only happens when the gamesdb is very slow, which happens quite a lot... Power Saving mode is also periodically re-enabled by the video/image change timer, unless the screensaver is disabled.
