Darkfire77 Joey. Thread Starter. Joined Apr 13, Messages Hi, I'm having an extremely annoying problem with Google Chrome. 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. With Auto Shutdown and a quick access button to put your computer to sleep you'll have the best of both worlds and never have your computer nod off again in the middle of an important download. Hope that helps! You can use Caffeine for Windows. It will prevent your computer from going to sleep or hibernating.
Another option is to play music in Windows Media Player, set WMP to prevent the screen saver and it won't go to sleep either. If you don't like the music you can mute it but it'll still keep your system up without changing system-wide settings.
The A. By Jason Fitzpatrick. Shop Early Black Friday Deals. No inbuilt power settings to tweak. No command to run. Fine, there are two ways you can keep downloads active when you have closed the lid of your Mac. The good thing about the app is that it is free. Step 2: Download Insomnia X and use the un acrchiver tool to decompress the downloaded file. Step 4: When you bring the cursor to the insomnia X app in the horizontal menu bar, it will bring a drop down list of options.
Your mac will keep active, downloads will go on even when the lid is closed. Step 5: If you can estimate the time your download will take which is difficult due to many factors involved , you can set the time you want this app to keep the laptop active and then it will shutdown automatically thereafter.
Please remember that you will have to change settings in Insomnia X whenever you will need to keep downloads active, so once you restart, these settings will not hold.
Graced with all these devices, connect each of them to your Mac laptop and ensure they are properly functioning. Once you close the lid when downloads are active, a Mac laptop will turn to the external display leaving all computing tasks active including the download jobs. To revert back to normal display usage; open its lid and it will return back to its monitor for Mac Os
