Hi,

As some additional information. to the answer already specified.

The backward compatible game while it is the same game the download is basically different version of the game, being the backward compatible version of the game. This is also the reason why inserting a backward compatible game via disc will result in the
backward compatible version being downloaded (disk is still required to start the game)

So in order for you to download that backward compatible version you will have to login to the Xbox Live Account that is used on the 360, which allows you to download backward compatible games that you own.

Timing may be an issue here.

If you have remote install enabled, I have found by logging into the website and going to the game there you get an option to download.

You have to remember that at present Xbox services are under significant pressure with so many people utilising the service.

Try to
power cycle your console and try again.

What happens when you try to download them? If you're having problems on your console, then you can try to click on the download button for the game on a pc and it should start downloading to your console.

They won’t ever completely shut them down because of the backward compatibility program.
