Yes, but make sure it's in 'Instant-On' mode, not 'Energy-Saving' mode, to keep the downloads going. Go get those updates!

Instant-On mode: Yes. Energy-saving mode: No. Simple as that.

It only downloads while in 'Instant-On' mode. Energy-saving mode won't work. Personal experience: switched to Instant-On, never missed a download!
