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.) Message was edited by: joshz Message was edited by: joshz

Good news: MacBooks and iMacs make it easy to create screen saver and display sleep settings that perfectly suit your needs. Assuming you’re using Max OS X 10.6.x, aka Snow Leopard, you can change all of your display settings by clicking the “System Preferences” icon in your dock.

Prevent MacBook from sleeping while downloading a file: A lot of us use our computer for more than just Internet browsing. We use it to render or convert video’s, download/uploading large files, movies and many other things.
If you don't want it to sleep, just go to 'System Preferences' then click 'Energy Saver' then make your Mac's sleep auto to 'Never'. Then change it to 'Normal' once download is done, Also one tip: attach the charger (or what ever you wanna call the charger I.E AC power etc.) while app/file/document/any other things are downloading.
Have a Mac in sleep mode while also downloading a file with iTunes, is currently not possible. However the idea is not out the question, doing things while in sleep is possible on certain new Mac hardware running OS X 10.8, via the new Power Nap feature. What you asking to do is currently not a feature of Power Nap, however it is something that might be possible with a hack or a future.
