When you close the lid, your Mac goes to sleep and stops all current downloads. If you have a downloadmanager, it will pause the downloads, but it will not keep downloading the files. @SJV1132007 As long as closing the screen down does not put the Mac to sleep or shut it down then the game will continue to download but as the system is still running the battery will be used.

By default, all Mac computers automatically go into sleep mode after a certain period of inactivity. This feature on Mac is designed to save power and also to prevent unauthorized access, while you are away from your Mac.
Usually the period of inactivity after which the Mac automatically goes into sleep mode is 2 minutes while on battery and 10 minutes when the Mac is plugged into a direct power supply source.
