I am trying to download large files which are taking about hours to download. I don't have that much time, so I have to put my computer into sleep mode.

Now, the problem is, I put it into sleep mode, turn it back on, Chrome says the downloads are finished. I open one of them, and it says the file is corrupt. What can be done to fix this? Joined Aug 13, Messages Joined Aug 1, Messages 51, Computers do not do anything when asleep. Well, I can't keep it running constantly, since the computer's a laptop It's built to stay cool on a desk, but I don't have one And, if computers don't run in sleep mode, why is it that I can start off saving a movie in Windows Movie Maker, put the computer in sleep mode, and by the time I get back on, it's done saving?

Sessions generally time-out after seconds. Couriant James. Joined Mar 26, Messages 42, My older laptop used to make lot of noise when it was idle and it disturbed my sleep when I had downloads going all through the night.

Firefox and Chrome have an extension called AutoShutdown which can be used to shutdown your computer once downloading is completed. These extensions will help prevent overheating of your laptop and can reduce consumption of electricity in case you leave the laptop running through whole night. In case you are downloading using P2P file sharing platform such as uTorrent, then you can choose the option to Autoshutdown. I personally love using my Macbook because of the speed at which the laptop resumes even if my system was in sleep mode.

NoSleep helps keep downloads going even when the lid of your laptop is closed and you do not even have to connect a mouse or a monitor to keep the system awake. The best part about NoSleep is that it is free but the developer runs on donations so you can consider making a donation if you liked the app. The app can be installed without any issues but the user will have to accept the terms and conditions of the app which can trigger few warnings. Many people are using InsomniaX without any issues and the app does not have support, instructions, or even an interface.

The third app to help keep your Mac Downloads running after closing the lid is an app called Amphetamine. All of these three apps are fairly straightforward and once you install you should be able to keep downloads going while the lid of your Apple laptop is closed. When using any of these apps, ensure that you do not forget this feature and drop the laptop in a backpack like before.

This can result in your Apple laptop overheating and even draining the battery completely has happened with me. As suggested, just turn off your monitor and let it run like that. Same with peripheral lights if they're bothersome. If your PC or laptop sleeps by itself due to lack of input, check your power options in Control Panel.
