Yes, your 360 will die the second you try to do it. Avoid it at all costs.

Ha ha ha ha! That was awesome!

Seriously, though, I don't think so. I use it all the time. Just make sure you don't disconnect your internet connection during it.

Not sure. I originally had Background Downloads enabled but ended up turning it off again. I can't remember how fast the rear fans ran but I wouldn't be surprised if they slowed down. Personally, I wouldn't trust that.

Well played my friend, hahaha.

I background download all of my rock band songs and all of my demos, my 360 still runs fine, Amazingly, not every little thing will cause your 360 to go up in flames. whoops a kitten lent up against it, 'sploded!
