Playstation Downloads While Playing a Game?

Is it just me or when i play a game my downloads stop but when i am at the menu my downloads will start downloading

It stops downloading if you are playing an online game.

If you are playing Call of Duty 4 online, it will be in the status of ‘Pending;

If you were playing the campaign in Call of Duty 4, the game will be downloading.

EDIT:
It will also stop downloading if you are playing CDs, DVDs, PS2/PS1 games, Blu-Rays etc.

    It is background downloading, but it only downloads when no game is being played, its basically like its on hold and will only download when you are not doing anything on the playstation.

    If you’re downloading PSN content in the background, it will stop/pause if you play a game or watch a movie.

    You are not alone my friend. This is a glitch that appeared after one of the major updates. Originally, you could not only download items while you were playing a game, you could download multiple items. Now, however, for some reason playing a game or doing just about anything else pauses the download. I hate that actually and there is nothing you can do about it unfortunately.
