I have Yosemite with "Wake for network access" checked. My internet 
connection speed is 1 GB per hour. Apple downloads may be several GB. If 
I forget to set my Mini never to sleep, it will interrupt the download 
by sleeping. There were older versions of OS X that would stay awake.

Besides telling my Mac never to sleep, is there a way to keep it from 
going to sleep during a download?
