Dear friends, could you plz help with this issue:

When I need to update any Apple related products (MacOS/xCode) etc the MBP never sleeps or cancels them, but when I leave my MBP while downloading large files via Chrome I frequently find that downloads were cancelled - I suppose it happens because of sleep mode. For me it is strange as I expected that OS will detect that there is "some" activity" and will not stop downloading.

Do you have any ideas how can I prevent MacOS from going to sleep until downloading is completed without increasing the waiting period (it can be 2 hours, but 3 and 4 as well this is why it is impractical) until sleep in Prefs??
