Barbara: How long is it taking for your download to process?
If you place a Mac in sleep mode and you are downloading the file, Safari will discard it and stop the download. Firefox will do the same thing. This is for your safety as a partially downloaded file will not function properly. I suggest either not placing your system in sleep mode or attempting the download when you have sufficient time to complete the download.
