I would like to ask why it should not be done on a notebook. Logically there is no reason. Leaving your laptop running with the monitor turned off is no different than doing the same with your desktop - unless you have a really really bad notebook with a grasshopper flapping it's wings in place of a heatsync (Also reffered to as the Dell CPi by laptop boffins) :P
I agree - I have exclusively used ThinkPads for several years now so I expect them to do everything (including downloading 30gb+ at a time)
