When my screen is locked, will running processes/internet connection be halted?

Sometimes I leave my PC doing other stuff while running an upgrade or downloading big files, Syncing my Dropbox, or something like that. After 10mins or so, my screen is locked (which I like).

I just wanted to know if running processes or the Internet connection will be locked too when that happens. Because I don't want to do that stuff after I get back on my PC again.

And if that's the case (halted processes), Is there a way to keep processes / connection running while the screen is locked?

My answer to your question is It should not.

As far as i have been using Ubuntu i have seen processes stopping only when it is told to do so (I use a rhythmbox plugin which stops playing msic when the screnn gets locked without that plugin the music goes on.). Also i do the same thing that you do i.e lock the screen and keep stuff for syncing, downloading etc but it has never happened that the process gets stopped.
