Do physical games download faster than digital?

It installs faster because you no longer have to download the main game files, since they're already on physical media. When you buy a game digitally the main game files are downloaded and then installed; with a physical disc you already have the main game files on the disc so you only need to install them.

Do games download faster when xbox is off?
Broadly speaking, the same speed that it downloads games at any other time. The bottleneck is most commonly your ISP. Downloads will be slowed when the console is in use, and may be suspended when playing a game; but your ISP is the most common throttle on the download speed.
