Screen saver messes up a download over wireless adapter

I've got the Trendnet TEW-424UB wireless USB adapter that I installed yesterday. I was downloading a large file today, and then the screen saver kicked in. Then I moved the mouse to get out of the screen saver, and I noticed that the progress indicator had stopped moving. So the screen saver must have affected the wireless adapter. I opened up another browser and it could connect to sites. But the download didn't proceed anymore and had to be cancelled. Anyone experienced anything like that? Would you think that is acceptable, or is this a cheap piece of junk? (It costs only $8 after the rebate.) Running Windows Vista SP1.
