Mac Continue Download In Sleep

Mar 20, 2012 When downloading files from uTorrent will the download continue if my Mac is in sleep mode? Or if the Mac is completely shut down then booted again will the download continue from where it left off? Or will it need to start from the beginning again. This is to do with late night downloads when it's time for sleep but want to keep the downloads.

On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Energy Saver. Open Energy Saver preferences for me. Do any of the following: Set the amount of time your computer or display should wait before going to sleep: Drag the “Computer sleep” and “Display sleep” sliders, or the “Turn display off after” slider. Keep your Mac from going to sleep automatically: Select.
On my old phone, I could switch off the screen and download would continue. But with the iPhone, the only way to switch off the screen is to enter sleep mode, either manual switch off or timed. And when it does go into sleep, download stops too. I guess sleep mode.

In case you feel that your Mac is going too quickly into Sleep Mode, then you can stop Mac from automatically sleeping by either increasing the sleep timer on your Mac or by configuring the Mac to never go into sleep mode.

Stop Mac From Going into Sleep Mode

By default, all Mac computers automatically go into sleep mode after a certain period of inactivity. This feature on Mac is designed to save power and also to prevent unauthorized access, while you are away from your Mac.

Usually the period of inactivity after which the Mac automatically goes into sleep mode is 2 minutes while on battery and 10 minutes when the Mac is plugged into a direct power supply source.

The Power Saving Auto-sleep feature is turned OFF while you are watching movies or videos on your Mac and not while you are reading or going through an interesting article on a website.

This can get very annoying, especially when you are in the middle of reading something and the display on your Mac turns off and goes into Sleep Mode.
