Hey guys i sort of have a tip/trick to share with you, you may already know it, you may not,
So anyway when you download games you would usually wait on the Xbox360 dashboard for them to download right? Well not anymore! (well only if you have these games, FIFA13, Any Call of Duty) those are only the games iv tested, feel free to test more,
FIFA13: So the trick is when you start your download, load one of the following games i mentioned earlier; So for example i load up fifa13 and in the top right of your screen will pop up with a notification stating that the download has stopped for whatever i was downloading, well ignore that and head on to Kick off (or career, FUT) for example i go to kick off and when the "Match" actually starts give it a few seconds and press the Xbox button on your controller and head on over to active downloads, you will see that your download has continued from where it left off earlier, it will continue to download until you go back to the main menu, (Dont worry it doesn't cancel your download it just pauses it) it will resume when ever you start a match again or go back to the dashboard!
Call Of Duty: Now for call of duty its not really entertaining but worth a share, So assuming you have started a download, load call of duty up, and as the same as fifa13 you will get a notification stating that the download has stopped, ignore that and head on over to multiplayer and start your own party (Not a party chat) actual party in the game, and the download will resume, like i said before its kinda pointless for call of duty because once you go online it pauses (until you back out into a party or return to the dashboard)
**UPDATE**
Youtube: Ok so for the Youtube app its pretty simple, Your download will continue if you're watching a video but will pause when browsing for a video. Same does NOT apply for Netflix sadly

I have an update for you!
You can play battlefield 3 online while downloading games and DLC. The reason for this is because it has its own servers not really running on the love server. All those private servers are private for a reason. You can download without interruption because of this. So that is what I normally do, really one of the few reasons I bout BF3 again is for this little trick. I hope this helps
