Can i download via steam on standby/sleep or while PC is off? When you shut it down or go to sleep mode your pc stops all running programs also stops the. I presume Steam halts the download when nothing is going on? So that the laptop doesn't automatically enter sleep mode or hibernate? I don't know why it does that unless the steam servers are overloaded or something. For one thing: the CPU is in idle mode when your computer is in sleep mode. It's a bit like humans: hard to do anything productive when asleep. You are only waiting for a wakeup call and that's the same with your PC.
I have a Steam account, which is fine, that isn't what I am asking. My interest is with how it works (first time). I purchased a very cheap copy of RUSE and decided to give it a go. The label on the box says that internet is required for activation, so that is fine as well. Most games I have, required internet activation of the code. Then after much stuffing around, it appears that internet isn't just required for activation, it is required to play it. Is that right? Is that how Steam works?
I just wanted to play the damn game, but it was even worse than trying to play a new PS3 game. So many downloads or whatever it was doing. I just gave up. Why can't I play the game offline? Is that possible? I flatout don't want to be online to play games - that is my choice. Do I have to get a 'back-up' copy of the game to play without all the hassles (which is legal if you own the game in my country)?
So, educate a gamer - what am I missing here? What do I need to know about Steam and how it works for retail games. Thanks.
I have steam running in the background when computer is not sleeping but I was wondering if Steam will download games when my computer is locked/sleeping.

If your computer is locked, that means that your computer is running but that you will be prompted for a password when you go to use it next. In this case, Steam will continue downloading your games as long as the computer is running, e.g. unless the computer falls asleep.
If you put your computer to sleep manually or if it falls asleep automatically after a while, that means that your computer's CPU and some other components more or less turn off. If your computer is asleep, all of your running programs are effectively paused in a suspended state, and Steam will definitely not download games.
