I'm downloading a large .rar file in GOOGLE CHROME but I don't want to leave my system powered on over night. I'm planning to pause and hibernate the system so that when I switch it back on, I can resume the file download in my queue. Is this possible with this method, will it resume the file download where it left off?

By default Chrome will not resume downloads when your system is suspended / hibernated. You could try the Chrono Download Manager extension which does support pause/resume/resync of downloads.
Google Chrome - Chrono Download Manager
EDIT: There is a new flag you can set in chrome. If you go to the URL below in your address bar:
chrome://flags/#enable-download-resumption
and enable that, it should work to resume a download.

Seems like the easier solution is to just leave the system on. Don't hibernate the system, let the file download finish, I presume you can provide it AC/DC power. – Ramhound – 2016-03-16T21:09:58.450
