Some downloads allow you to download in the background and others will not even allow that. I know no downloads that allow you to pause and resume

The console will pause a download if you do something else while downloading.I found out when I was going to watch a TV show on DVD and it paused the download while I was watching it. It also paused while I was in Playstation Home both times I was downloading in the background. It resumed as soon as I was no longer doing anything that made it pause

Do you have to have your ps3 on when you are trying to download something?

Normally yes. The main exception is that Playstation Plus users can have the PS3 set to download any updates to games or the system. It still must be on when the download occurs, but the system turns on the PS3 when a download is available. You also have to not be doing certain things while you are trying to download. I found if I watch a DVD or other activities the download will pause until I am finished even though it was set to download in the background.

How do you get back your downloaded games that was paid for after you purchased a new ps3 station?

What I did was log into the PS3 and then my PSN account. At the top of the Playstation Store screen you have a record of your downloads. I had 127 downloads in the history and now have 204. I then spent 3 or 4 days downloading all my downloads into the new PS3. The downloads took some time but they all also had to be installed and that took the most time management. I left the PS3 running and watched TV and went back every so often to install another game. Otherwise only a game is installed. Most PS3 activities will pause the download in background, but the install does not seem to pause the download in background. Playing a DVD will Pause it and the same is true for a game.
