are you guys only seeing one slider for "turn off display off after"?
For some reason i don't have the "Computer Sleep" slider i see on my other macs?
I used to be able to upload a large file up to vimeo on my iMac and go to bed, but i did this last night only to find out this morning my Mac Pro went to sleep in mid upload.

should i click the "prevent computer from sleeping automatically when display is off" option next time?

Thanks

Had the same problem when doing a huge render. Prior to nMP and Mavericks, I could start the long render and go to sleep and it would be done in the morning. But like your file copy, it was only part way done in the morning. Turned off put computer-processors to sleep (nMP is at home and I don't recall the check box exact words) and my laptop used for this post is just 10.8.5 which has different check boxes....but that solved the issue.
