Best Answer

The monitor screen is completely autonomous to the computer itself. If you're using a desktop computer and not a laptop, it's perfectly fine to turn off the monitor and leave the computer running. You cannot, however, shut the lid, sleep, hibernate, or do anything to a laptop an keep the downloads runnings. You can turn down the brightness on your laptop if you wish, but you can't shut it off entirely.

Yes it will. As long as you are not logged off and your downloading client or browser is still running while the computer enters the locked state.
