This is not *quite* true. You can do it if you're very careful *about* what you
do. I once downloaded in background, crashed an app in foreground, went to
Macsbug and issued an es, and the downloading did no hiccup- blew my mind. But
in general it is a real pain having to walk on eggshells while your download
goes ahead.
