I am working on an app in iOS 5.0 and I want to use the refined NSURLConnection to download content from the server. I just have a quick question, if the app is not a newsstand app, will NSURLConnection continue to download after the user enters the app to background.

I know I can not invoke a download while the app is not running which is a newsstand feature, but I am not sure if I start the download and app enter background, will it continue?

Thanks for your help.

You have to request to stay in the background in order to be able to do this... For more information look at apple docs here, specifically the Background Execution and Multitasking section where it says how to perform finite length tasks... hope it helps
