Thread: Downloading demo's on xbox 360...

Can you download more than one demo at a time?

You can download as many demos as your hard drive can hold. If you are referring to simultaneous downloads, the xbox will que up all downloads and only transfer one at a time.

Yeah, I found out the hard way... I was trying to get the Simpsons game download and Blue Dragon at the same time... and it would only do 1 at a time.

Not only that, but you must be on the dashboard too. I tried to play NHL 08 in Dynasty Mode... thinking I wouldn't be using Xbox Live, so I can download it. But nope! It automatically stops the download and won't resume unless you go back to the dashboard.

Why does it take so long to download a demo?
It takes me 2 to 3 hours to download one demo.

There's a setting on the Xbox that keeps downloads going while the Xbox is turned off. Set up a long queue of all the demos you want before you go to bed one night. In the morning they'll all be done.

Yes - do what he says. The XBox does not have to be on when you are downloading demos.

Also if you don't have enough room on your HD, you will be prompted that and then be given the ability to delete unwanted files.
