I have been trying to download the demo for the new Tennis game over the past hour and a half.  I have my PS3 wired into my Vonage adapter and then it goes to the cable modem.  The setup worked fine a few days ago, I got a few 800MB files in less then 30 mins.  Tonight it trudges along for over an hour and bearly got 40%. I finally gave up.  Is Sony Store messed up tonight?  I may try again with it hooked right up to the cable modem and see if that is slowing it down.

I even did a speed test at speakeasy.com with the PS3 web browser and it gave me a speed of about 7500kbps download and 480 kbps upload.  So my connection is fine.

Wish they could make that Earth thing look better, add some clouds and perhaps add the terminator line.

So what is faster, my PC or my PS3?  I cant tell from the WUs since they PS3 gets rather small WUs while the PC gets WUs that can take a day or more.  My stats from my way "un uber" PC are in my sig.

Cool, now once I get it so I can have everything on the ISP connection at the same time I will be golden.  This swapping the wire back and forth is for the birds.

Can PCs and PS3s be on the same team?  I cant see why not but just want to be sure.  I just set up a team to test this.  I then added my PC and my PS3 to the same team.  We shall see what happens.  Only thing is my PS3 gets smaller workunits, the PC ones somtimes take 3 days.

I can see myself doing it on nights when i want to charge the controllers.  Still a little leery about it all though.  Its not just the heat (but IMO the machine is running COOLER when it does Folding than it does when it does games) but the wear and tear on the other parts.  Power Supply in particular.  Then there is the simple fact that I already pay $83 a month for electric as it is, add another 360watts or so to that and it could be closer to $90 :D

I decided to do a little PS3 stress test last night and left my machine running all night, from about 2AM till about 930AM.  My controllers were getting a little weak on power so I needed to charge them anyway (come to find out my digital camera uses the same USB cord). 

I ran Folding@Home alll night and the machine was bearly warm and still running fine in the morning.  Dont know if I will do it full time, at this point I can either have my PC on the net or my PS3, but not both (no router)

I did a scan with the WiFi just to see what it would find and it DID find a WiFi connection with a strenth of about 98%, could not get a IP address though.  I did not mess with it after that, dont want to get nailed by the ISP Police :D  At least I know the WiFi part works, just wonder if I really need a WiFi router (things cost $80-90 bucks for the fast ones)

Dont worry, I have a internal filter that ignores the people who act like they know everything and thinks anyone who does not know is just as dumb as a rock.

It was not a big deal, it was more of a "Hey this is a Bluetooth phone and the PS3 is Bluetooth, lets see if we can transfer pictures, just for the heck of it" moment. 

There was a thing on the PS3 called REGISTER BLUETOOTH DEVICE and the list had CAMARA, wonder if that would work for a camara phone :)
