We got confirmation from Boris Schneider-Johne (Senior Product Manager Xbox Platform and Accessories, Microsoft Germany) that a huge Dashboard Update will arrive at the end of May!

Features include background downloading and having multiple downloads at once.
The user marks a file to download and it will be put in an active queue downloadlist. There are 6 slots reserved in that queue. They will be downloaded sequentially not in parallel! If the Xbox360 sees there is bandwith available it will boost the download speed up. During online sessions the downloads will be paused to garantee no lags. It's also possible to turn off the console, after powering it back on the downloads will resume. When a download finishes the user will get a message that it has been downloaded.

He also mentions that there will be a lot more features in there but it will be a surprise and he won't talk about it!


Finalmente os tão desejados downloads em background :x2:

Já tinha postado isso mas fizeste bem em dar destaque.

Não vão funcionar multiplos downloads em simultâneo mas sim uma queue de 6 downloads.

good stuff... um download em background ja seria bom, e afinal temos opçao de 6 sequenciais.... muito bom :)

Boas notícias! :)

Dashboard Update To Include Background Downloading?

At long last, a Xbox 360 Dashboard update is supposedly coming that will include background downloading! And it sounds like all that and a bag of chips.

The German website Xbox Archiv talked with Boris Schneider-Johne, Senior Product Manager of Xbox Platform and Accessories for Microsoft Germany, and he said that the dashboard update is coming around the end of May. According to Schneider, the new features will include background downloading and having multiple downloads at once.

The update will feature a download manager for 6 parallel downloads running in the background at the same time. These downloads can be running while the user is doing something else, like playing a game.

Also, the manager will do downloads sequentially, if the Xbox 360 detects there is enough bandwidth available, it will increase the download speed. If a user is playing online during a download, the downloads may be paused to guarantee no lag. And if you turn off the console during a download for whatever reason, after powering it back on, the downloads will start where they left off. A message will pop on screen when a download is complete.

He also said more cool features will be included, but he isn't willing to spoil the surprise. I can't wait!
