    I just came across this on Microsofts Knowledgebase while looking for the reason why my marketplace downloads have become so slow this week.

    Its an article that describes how "Active Downloads" work and that the Autoupdate is due May 23rd obvoiusly late now.

    Here is the Link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919421/

    The autoupdate will allow you download in the background while playing games, watching DVDS, or listening to music, also it pauses if you start to play a game online, here is a paste from the above link in case it gets pulled.
    SUMMARY
    This article describes the Active Download feature that is available in the Xbox Live Marketplace.
    MORE INFORMATION
    With the spring auto-update of the Xbox Live service scheduled for May 23, 2006, you will have access to the Active Download feature in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

    With an active downloads list, you receive the following benefits:• Each item that you download is downloaded separately in the background. This lets you continue to use the console while you download an item.
    • You can stream music, play DVDs or CDs, play arcade titles, and play games while you download an item from the marketplace.
    • If you start to play an online game, the download is automatically paused while you play the game to help prevent game lag because of network congestion. This helps you receive the best online gaming experience that the network can provide.
    • All downloads are associated with your profile. If a download is paused or if the download is interrupted, the download will resume the next time that you connect to Xbox Live.
    • You can add items to the active downloads list at any time by selecting more items from the marketplace.
    You will receive a notification in the Xbox Guide when an item starts to download and when the download is completed. You will also receive a notification if the download fails.
