Or are they the same game?
but seriously i think it might slow down a small price to pay
Seperate, downloading one game and playing another whilst waiting for it to download.
Alright, thanks.
I know it used to be that way....but I downloaded a game while playing another game today. So I think it is do-able.
you can download and play on steam. you just need to tell steam not to stop downloads when launching games. or alt-tab once you've launched your game and un-pause the download.
It is a setting thing now. You can change it individually or globally if you want that. If you don't play a lot of Multiplayer games you can globally allow background downloads and just turn them off for the occasional Multiplayer game.
Otherwise its the other way around.

I have never had any problems with playing some singleplayer game while downloading. Depending on your line and the limitations you set for Steam you might not want to do it while playing Online games, since it will cause you to lag, in most cases.
