Am I crazy or if I switch from a program that is currently downloading something (updates, new files, etc) the download stops??? I will have to go back to this program and then resume it?
Thanks

Are we saying here that W8 is indeed a DOS OS?
No. There are quite a few threads on this forum describing how multitasking works. I'm typing on my phone, so I can't help you look 'em up. In a nutshell: DOS has no concept of a background task. Neither does WP, but WP can execute specific features in the background.
Did you guys try using the home button instead of back? Or, did you try pressing and holding the back arrow instead of just pressing it, so it takes you to the multitasking screen? Maybe those might work.
Did it start over or was it "resumed"?Just gave that a try in Nokia music, started a download, tapped home and put the phone on the charger to keep the WiFi connected. 15 minutes later when I switch tasks the download hasn't moved, but resumes downloading immediately when I focus on that app.

So, in general, if an application needs more data but I switch to another task the first application will never get the data???Just gave that a try in Nokia music, started a download, tapped home and put the phone on the charger to keep the WiFi connected. 15 minutes later when I switch tasks the download hasn't moved, but resumes downloading immediately when I focus on that app.

I dont know what you are talking about, but I pressed Home, went back to a program and id says resume download. Ok, funny, for now it is, it starts from 0. Is W8 redefining a meaning of an English word "resume"? Also what is that then?
