    I have a few things downloading on Limewire and Direct Connect and I want them to continue to download while I go to sleep and close the lid of the computer. What should my power saving settings be?

    Thanks!

    Control Panel -> Power options, select the Advanced tab, and in the 'When I close the lid...' check 'Do nothing'
