    Hey i had a quick question?

    is there anyway to download a steam game, while playing another steam game?

    For ex: i just bought the Eidos Pack, and i downloaded Deus Ex, but i also want to download another game in the pack, but when i start playing Deus Ex, the current download stops, is there any way to continue downloading while playing a game?
