So I've begun to download the FE trial, problem is, I can't leave my computer until it's finished or it'll only get half way and then the computer will go to sleep. Can anyone tell me how to prevent this? Mainly just for downloading large files.

    Which OS are you using?

    If you're using Vista (I would assume this is the same for Win 7 as well), go to Control Panel > System & Maintenance > Power Options > Left Hand Side you will see an option "Choose when computer sleeps" and then change it to never or increase the time.

    If you're on XP its probably similar, somewhere in Control Panel.

    If you're on a Mac, I only speak Windows ;-)

    Hope this helps :)
