Why can't I download two games at once?

Because no. Valve is a god.

maybe your contributor level is to low

You can, just bug it. Keep clicking on the download buttons. I do always when Im downloading something and then Im going to play something, then I bug it always. Just try. Worth a try.

Because like everyone else you need to be patient it's one game at the time :P

Download one game through the night. When you'll wake up next morning, the download will be done (unless your bandwidth is terribly awful). Then you can download the other game at daytime! ^_^

May this will help You :)

because if such practice became common, it would lead to the overload of Steam servers, in turn leading to a huge explosion, which would wipe Valve's toolshed off the face of the Earth

Will you play both at the same time? No, right?

Is that a beta client?

yep i figured it out, thanks for the replys~

Just press "Pause" on the one that shows up as "Suspended" and then press play on it. It will start downloading and you will be able to download both at the same time.

If you're going away for a while and want both to be downloaded by the time you get back:

• Start downloading the one that you DON'T want downloaded first.
• Without clicking 'pause', start downloading the one you want FIRST.
• The one you started first will be suspended.
• When the first one finishes, it'll automatically do the second one.

If you think about it: you're downloading the same amount of data at the same rate, just not at the same time.

Overhead.

When you are downloading one thing most of your bandwidth is downloading that. But some of your bandwidth is used for various things needed to maintain the download. Download a second thing at the same time and you have twice the overhead. So if one download is enough to max out your transfer speed, two simultaneous downloads will get you it all slower than if you downloaded one, then the other.

hehehehehe i downloaded both of them already :P
