    downloading while console is off

    hi there, I just bought a game last night to download to my console. I was told how to set it to where it downloads with the console off. I set it up and went about other business. This was a game that is almost 6g so I knew it would take awhile. I wanted
    to check the status of the download to see how far it had gotten by last night before bed. Look on here in the download qeue and it says it was downloading. I go to turn my console on and it just chimes at me? are you not able to turn it on after you have
    set it to download while off? I wake up this morning and it does the same thing and it says on here it is still downloading. I tried turnng it on with the controller and it just blinks at me, tried on the console and it chimes at me.

    Downloading while 360 is off?

    Your 360 will need to be on to enable the download to start, even if you queue items from the website, and you can then turn it off and continue the download providing you have Background Downloads enabled.

    -

    To do that go to System Settings, Console Settings, Startup and Shutdown, Background Downloads, now select Enable.

    downloading while console is off

    never mind i figured it out

    Halo Reach download gets to 70% and then restarts downloading from 0 on xbox 360

    Try starting the download, then turn the console off. If you have background downloads switched on, then it should download while turned off. Once the console switches off fully, then the game should be downloaded.

    Background downloading on Xbox 360 no longer working.

    Xbox 369 cannot download anything while turned off nor will it wake up to do so

    That's an xbox one and ps4 feature only as they have a 2Nd CPU to take care of the downkosds

    Background downloading means you can browse and play off line games while downloading however it does slow your download speed

    It's not recommended that you play while you downlosd

    As it does take cycles off of the download

    Hence why they put a cpu just for that now
