Nope. A while back a scientist was creating a usb stick or something that would allow this task to be completed...but I never heard anything about it after that.

Nope the whole point of putting your computer to sleep is shutting down the hard drives, and no hard drives = no way of storing the download.

Some routers support downloading without the use of PC, so may want to look in to that. One I know of is the ASUS RT-N16, FTP, HTTP, Bittorent client.
