Can't play games without pausing download

I just bought Call of Duty Ghosts and it'll take a while to download so I tried to play another game while I wait. But every time I load a game it stops downloading.

I know that downloads will pause when you play a multiplayer game, but I'm not trying to play multiplayer. I'm trying to play singleplayer.

Whether I try Minecraft, Dead Rising 2 or Assassin's Creed 2 it always stops when I click the whatever button loads the saved singleplayer game.

Why does this keep happening? I am NOT playing online so it should let me keep downloading, right? Why on earth would these games be connecting to the internet when
not playing online? I mean Assassin's Creed doesn't even have a multiplayer mode so what's going on?

game installs and playing different game

When I install a game and when I play a game that was downloaded my disk install pauses. Can't download a update and play any game with out pausing

 

Xbox Fitness Refuses to start

It is kind of crazy a machine this powerful with this kind of storage can't play exercising videos without pausing :-(

 

The xbox console needs its online power in order to download the game and even if you are playing a single player game the online features of certain games might still be active and not let you download.

 

The two choices you have are to either do something else or try different games. I've noticed this as well, and games and content still download for me in the background of certain games, for example I could play skyrim, kingdoms of amalur or left 4 dead
whilst downloading something, perhaps those games have more requirements that require the consoles power or are constantly connected to online
