    You can't. Where will the laptop get it's power for the CPU, RAM, hard drive, etc. if it's off?

    You have to leave it on if you want to finish it. In uTorrent, there's an option to shutdown the computer when downloading is complete.

    The laptop must be turned ON in order to download torrents.

    Why?

    Because you need to supply power to the hard drive, as well as the network card (or Wi-Fi card) in your laptop.

    However, you can turn off the LCD screen to reserve power.
