How do I continue downloading a game in Steam while playing?

I have many games on Steam and many more I will buy, but I have a problem and I hope you can point me a solution.
When I download a game, is it possible to launch and play a single player game under Steam and continue downloading others games in the meanwhile?
Steam stops my download as soon as I launch any game, and I am looking for a way to prevent this.
Question from user Drake at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Global option.
You can now allow downloads during any gameplay from the downloads settings:.
Per game option.
You can now tell Steam to continue downloading updates/games while playing games from your games' properties. Note that this setting is not available for non-steam games, which will always use the global setting.
