Absolutely, but make sure your Xbox is in 'Instant-On' mode. If it's in 'Energy-Saving' mode, no downloads for you!

They pause if you're in Energy-Saving mode. Switch to Instant-On if you want downloads to keep going while the console's off.

Nope, unless it's in 'Instant-On' mode. Otherwise, downloads will stop.
