Actually, Steam stops all downloads once your computer enters sleep mode. It's all about saving energy and giving your computer a rest. So, if you're looking to get that game ready to play ASAP, better keep that PC awake!

Nope, when your computer goes into sleep mode, Steam stops downloading. It's kinda like everything takes a little nap, including your downloads. If you want to keep downloading while you're away, you'll need to keep your computer awake. Some folks adjust their power settings to prevent the PC from sleeping too soon.

Steam downloads + sleep mode = no go. Keep your rig awake if you're racing to download the latest release!
