Keep downloading content while headset not mounted

I'm developing an app were the user can download, from inside the app, VR videos. My problem is that since these videos are huge (we are talking Gb) the users start the download and then take the headset off expecting to be done when they put it back on; but this doesn't happen because the Oculus goes into standby and the download is interrupted. Is there a way to prevent this or at least to keep the app downloading the content while the Oculus is idle?

    I think they recently added this feature, look in the power save options. Here is the thread I saw about it - https://forums.oculusvr.com/developer/discussion/67293/oculus-go-disable-sleep-mode-or-disable-enter-vr-screen#latest

    "Oculus Go standby timer can now be set in Oculus Go Settings > See All > Power !
    And can be set to 'Never' to disable it. Finally, awesome!" (from that thread)
