I spent the last four hours in Fallout: New Vegas, trying to finish Hitman 2. Steam paused the download when I took a break, which is frustrating. I’m looking for a way to avoid this so it doesn’t happen again.

You're currently using your phone, which means you can't give exact directions. However, in the settings, there should be an option to enable downloads while playing.

The behavior can be adjusted in the settings. The download area is likely mentioned there.
