It depends, If the “Sleep mode” is turned ON in your Lappy’s “Power options”→ Inside your current power plan, then your download will be stopped because your system will go into sleep mode when your display will TURN OFF. Speed up sleep with S1 sleep mode: If you're looking for an option that will save power and resume even faster than S3 sleep mode does, you can access S1 sleep mode. Resuming from S1 usually takes. I currently have 4 standard HDD (3x green, 1x black) and 1 SSD where Windows is installed. The problem I have is even though there are absolutely no activity on the hard drives, they never goes to sleep. I have disabled Windows Search service (still, I was using it on my last installation with no problem with sleep). Download game honey select.
When I am downloading large files, I was just wondering if it is possible to have my MacBook continue to download the file when I close my laptop or put it into sleep mode?
No. Sleep stops all activity.
Does it still download? What's the best way to do this?
Use Display Sleep, or just wait for the file to finish downloading before you sleep the mac. (Set it up by going to >System Preferences..>Exposé & Spaces>Exposé. Select 'Display Sleep' as one of the Hot Corners. To sleep the display, just go to that corner.)

Will Windows 10 Update Even If I Put My PC On Sleep Mode?
The short answer is NO! The moment your PC goes into Sleep Mode, it enters into a low power mode & all operations go on hold.
Making your system fall asleep while it’s installing Windows 10 Updates is not recommended. In the worst-case scenario, doing such things could corrupt your Windows OS, and you might have to reinstall it. So, Avoid it!
Generally, users schedule ‘active hours’ so that Windows doesn’t install updates at inconvenient times. So, when your PC goes into Sleep Mode, automatically all the actions get stopped & if there are any unsaved docs or opened applications, they are put into memory, keeping the PC into low power mode. Technically, your system stays On but conserves very less power.
What happens further, depends entirely on your PC’s active power profile & wake timers. For people unaware, Wake Timers are your system’s Alarm Clock that pulls the PC out of sleep. If you’re working on a laptop, the Wake Timers can be disabled, which means your laptop won’t wake up unnecessarily to update & overheat while stuffed in a bag. You can configure your system to wake only for important scheduled tasks.
To do so: You can head towards your Power Options and find three types of Wake Timer Settings: Disable, Enable and Important Wake Timers Only. The Windows 10 Updates fall under the Wake Timers Only category.
