Hello.

I am downloading a digital copy of a game and it is going to take a while. If I watch Netflix on my xbox while it downloads, does it slow down the download?

Will stuff continue to download if I play an original xbox game? I know it kicks me off live and can't use the guide but I'm not sure about the downloads.

Lol. I Just want to post things on the forums.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I would assume it would slow down, because some of that bandwidth is now going to Netflix. Anyways, I'm posting this 4 hours after you created the thread, so I'm sure it's a moot point now.

Actually I think the download stops if you start doing anything else that requires the internet, like playing multiplayer online or using Netflix. Seems to be my experience anyway.

^^ That may be the case with the Xbox 360, but I'm pretty sure it keeps downloading if you're on the One.

Yeah it does,only last night I was downloading something while using Netflix.

It will slow the download a little,obviously it depends on your download speed as to how much.

If I were you I would just download the game and not anything else till it's done.

that's what I do just so the download doesn't get messed up somehow. I just switch it to the tv and watch Gilligans Island till it's done.

I've downloaded Mass Effect, which is over 6gb, in a touch over two hours.

Your problem could be that you simply don't have a quick internet connection. Someone else in the house who uses the internet could be chewing up bandwidth as well. If you are connecting via wireless you could be getting interference.

It's pretty much impossible to say for sure without more information.

You're not helping anyone by repeating the same things that have already been said weeks ago in a thread.

Yep. Guide button, go one pane to the left, and towards the bottom you should see an "Active Downloads" option.

Seeing your gamertag everywhere isn't what's annoying. Seeing a 3 month old thread bumped just for you to post the same answer that's already been posted several times is annoying though.

First , press the Xbox Guide button ( The big one in the middle of your controller ) Then go to the left and there you should see the option ''Active Downloads '' I Hope this helps you out.
