Choose "Do nothing" it means "Don't Stop".

You should choose "Do Nothing" if you want to keep the computer running when you close the lid. Just remember that you have set it this way.

Many laptops by default will either put it into sleep mode or hibernation mode which in a way turns off the computer and saves the battery.

This is a time-saving function which is convenient when you don't want to fully shutdown the computer and then have to log on again and open up all your applications again.

Hit the HELP button and look up these modes so that you better understand what they do and how they work. There are advantages and disadvantes/dangers to using these modes.

Choose "Do Nothing" and your computer will keep running when you close the lid, so your download will keep going.

For a Mac, you can use an app called Insomnia X. For PC, I don't know of any. I'm sure there are some - try versiontracker.com
