I think thats an awsome idea, even though you would lag a lot while you play... but even so, you could listen to music or watch a movie while waiting,,,lol | |

We got confirmation from Boris Schneider-Johne (Senior Product Manager Xbox Platform and Accessories, Microsoft Germany) that a huge Dashboard Update will arrive at the end of may! It will feature a download manager for 6 parallel downloads in the background. He also mentions that there will be a lot more features in there but it will be a surprise and he won’t talk about it! The downloads will also running while a game is played.
The user marks a file to download and it will be put in an active queue
downloadlist. There are 6 slots reserved in that queue. They will be
downladed sequentially not in parallel! If the Xbox360 sees there is
bandwith available it will boost the download speed up, if there. During
Online Sessions the downloads will be paused to garantee no lags. It’s also possible to turn off the console, after powering it back on the downloads will resume. When a download finishes the user will get a message that it has been downloaded.
The bandwidth managment looks like to be for lag free chats in the dashboard or some other features which will be implemented additionally, i think so cause during online sessions it will be paused anyway as he mentions in hisresponse to my questions.

I believe i found a way to listen to music while downloading of of XBL. I need someone to test it because my 360 is down. I am pretty sure that if you go into the download with the music playing it will continue to play during the download. I think this may also work with Private Chat.

Thank you Microsoft.
