Hello, i have a 17" PB and I am downloading some big files 1GB file and a 1.4 GB. I would leave it on for the night and i wanted to know of there is something i should do, like should i keep the power cable hooked on? should i close the lid or what.

This may sound stupid but you must understand i never downloaded huge files on a laptop before.

Thanks.
 
Just leave it open and plugged in.

It's fine if the screen sleeps, but closing it will stop your download dead in it's tracks.

I too download larger files, when I DL overnight I just leave it open, and turn the brightness on the monitor too zero.
