Seriously...

Just poppped in Dragon age to continue my shot at getting platinum, and it needs an update, okay I'll just go entertain myself while it does that... 30MB shouldn't take that long...

How wrong I am, the ETA is now over 2400 mins!! And climbing... Argh!

WHy??

Yepp I'm a bit melodramatic, and it's not my internet connection, my PC was downloading at around 170KB/S just before the PS3 download, which I then turned off...

Anyone else suffering this pain?

Well after finishing Metal gear solid 4 I wanted to try Metal gear online, but there was a mandatory update first.

Estimated time: around 8 hours.

Fuck that shit.

That's unbelievable. But It'll probably fix the time soon, so just be patient.

Nope. My PS3 is actually faster than my computer. Why?

Because my computer is retarded! :D

Calumon: Jump on the on and off button until it works. Oh, then again, you are bigger than me...

Um... It might be a glitch. My PS3 claims 5 or 6 hour run times all the time that only take a few minutes... Don't ask, it's weird

For some reaosn system updates take forever despite probably only being a few megs, but I downloaded Wipeout HD in about an hour and on the rare occasions I have tooled around in Playstation Home the 30-50mb areas download within minutes.

Weird.

Yeah the PS3 always seems to grossly overestimate. Example, the last time I ran a backup it said it would be done in something like 2 hours and 30 minutes. It has never taken that long before and I only deleted things from the last time I'd run one. Sure it enough it only took about 1 hours which is what it had been taking previously.

Your internet sucks.. I just downloaded Vanquish demo and 2 other things which were around 1.6 gigs and it took just over an hour.

I regularly stream HD movies from PSN and never have issues there either

Ports? Server is down for maintenance? someone is stealing your wireless? Someone picked up the phone and you lost your connect?

Theres tons of possibilities to why your getting a slow connection.

Yeah its proberly just your connection, the longest i have had to wait for a patch was about thirty minutes and that was for the Mag and Uncharted 2 patches.
