Folding and Downloading Demos

Can they be done at the same time?

Yep, I often leave it running at night, download demos, charge the controller and cure cancer.


Awesome.

I was under the impression you coudlnt background download as long as the program/game you were running was online which folding is.

Folding is online, but not constantly.

It downloads the work units and then goes offline, when the work unit is complete it goes online and uploads it, before downloading a new one.


Hence the downloading ability. :)
