Is it possible to view how many times any given game on Steam was purchased or downloaded? Steam & Game Stats only seems to list the top 100 games (but doesn't include purchases) – is there a way to get this same information for any given title on Steam?

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.

Valve doesn't release the sales information of games on Steam. They do share their statistics with the developers of the games, but the developer decides whether to share this information further. Source
It may be possible to deduce some statistics from the publicly available information, but I have yet to see a public API that gives access to more in-depth information than that available on the Steam & Game Stats page.
