When I am downloading large files, I was just wondering if it is possible to have my MacBook continue to download the file when I close my laptop or put it into sleep mode?
No. Sleep stops all activity.
Does it still download? What's the best way to do this?
Use Display Sleep, or just wait for the file to finish downloading before you sleep the mac. (Set it up by going to >System Preferences...>Exposé & Spaces>Exposé. Select 'Display Sleep' as one of the Hot Corners. To sleep the display, just go to that corner.)

What Is Sleep Mode Pc
Aug 02, 2017 Users can even disable sleep when the system is idle and keep it awake indefinitely. There are apps that will let you prevent your Mac from going to sleep. If you don’t want to keep you Mac awake indefinitely, rather just for a short period of time, give Lungo a spin. It’s a free menu bar app that lets you temporarily disable sleep on macOS. Recent Mac models support “Power Nap”. This allows some activities to continue when asleep (and in some case require power to be connected). This includes. Force Quit Apps When Your Mac Won’t Sleep. Sometimes you already know the app that’s preventing the sleep mode but the app doesn’t seem to close normally. In that case, you can force close it. Press Command + Option + Esc on your keyboard.
