ps3: it only does everything....like slow download speed

well here you go

PS3 online is free. I wish people would quit crying over things. AND it sure does more than my other console and its quieter, plays bluray, and so far im loving it more than I have my other console in a long long long time.

Maybe im easy to please after being let down by another developer?

Huh?! Took me less than 10 minutes. You get what you pay for!

volume_three

Holy crap! How much do you pay every month?

Too much~! :P

i can download about 1 Mb per second on my PS3 which is what i pay for. ive done the counting and it matches up. i think its your internet. back in the day when i had slower internet i used to think my PS3 downloaded things really slow too.

are you watching it d/l bit by bit, just starring at the screen?

That's like watching the clock for 8 hours while at work. Why not take a break, and go outside?

It's not because of the PS3. It's your ISP as well as your preference for wireless.

I have wireless but I downloaded it in a hour or less with 7-9mbps

So I guess I'm the first.... That would be UR connection it took me like an HR to dluntouchables111

is there any way to get the ps3 to download faster? i have it connected to my wireless router and time warner roadrunner broadband. the god of war 3 demo is taking like all day. you might as well cancel all your plans for the evening if you wanna download something

i agree. i did the speed test and my connection was just fine. i think it was PSN that night. most downloads for me go pretty fast, especially on my 360. i think honestly, they might have been working on the PSN that night or there was a crap load of people downloading it at the same time.

It took me about 1hr on a 300kb/s connection.

It's not necessarily his connection that's the problem. As others have indicated the time of day can be a huge factor in your downloading speeds. If you're trying to grab the hot demo at the same time as everyone else, be prepared to wait.

Frankly, even downloading the GoW3 demo in 20 minutes is less than impressive if you've got 48 Mbps sustained downloading speed. It still suggests that you're constrained on the server side.

Road Runner = FAIL

Wirleless = Always Slower..

Wired GOW3 Demo took 15-20 min........

I will say I have a slow connection, but I do agree that the PS3 downloads files slower than my other machine can download a similar sized file.JustPlainLucas

You realize that there are a TON of people downloading that demo right now right? It's probably the most popular thing on PSN right now. I downloaded mine in about 20 minutes... but I got it right when it first hit PSN, so it was before the masses started bogging it down.

thank you

My connection at school is ... ok. My wireless connection at home is better.

Take a guess who's fault it is. The connection or playstation network?

A lot of people download at 1MB oer second so your points are rather moot. I have verizon fios as well and no demo has taken me more than like 25 minutes and is equal to the competitor.

Unless you actually have facts, go be a fanboy somewhere else.

It doesn't take too long for me to download but I don't watch the time and count the mintues. I am quite content with the DL speeds I have had with my PS3. It helps to not sit and watch the download bar to grow also. While it downloads, watch some TV, do some homework, go to the bathroom, or cook something to eat. Time flies when you are doing other things.

Don't blame your slow IP connection on the PS3. I have a 15Mbps and it's plenty fast enough with PSN. You probably have 5Mbps or less which is slow ISP. You have to pay to have a fast connection of usually $50+ per month.

i have 100% connection,downloads SOOOOOOOOOOOOO **** especially heavy rain and GOW3 demos...god

nope. my connection is averaging more Mbps than yours with time warner with power boost and i only pay 39.99. i think a lot of people were just downloading the GOW3 demo at the same time.

PS3. It only does everything like support users like TC who clearly no nothing about networking, have a crap connection (from their isp) and blame it on sony.

I don't know what to tell you.

I personally experience rather short wait times to download anything, be it firmware updates, demos, patches, or anything else.

I dl'ed the GoW3 in 45 mins.zbdyx

Ditto, and I'm on a wireless connection.

Wow some of the people on this board are unbelievable, way to help someone out. I myself am having huge download problems and I know its not my connection. My computer will download things super fast but then my ps3 can take hours to download a simple demo.

It is most likely your connection speed. I do not have a problem downloading anything. Everything downloads nice and fast for me.

My friend has a slower connection though so he doesn't bother downloading demos.

I just realised that I started downloading the god of war demo thursday and its only at 60%, I know it downloads slower while playing but I'm watching it right now and its going up 1 percent around every 7 minutes. How is this possible when my games play online perfectly?

LOL! It's the exact opposite for me! The 'Other' system seems to download files waaaaaaaaaaay slower. Your average demo takes me around 10mins to download on the PS3 but almost an hour on the other one. Wtf?!

[QUOTE="todd2r"]i have it connected to my wireless router and time warner roadrunner broadband.todd2r

Although a lot of people say it doesn't make a difference, personally, I get much better speeds using a wired connection as compared to wireless. That could be due to my router, I don't know. Anyway, if possible, you may want to try connecting it with an ethernet cable and see if your download speed improves.

i hate to do that cause i hate cables. xbox live downloads are fast and thats wireless too

look at that download speed!

I dl'ed the GoW3 in 45 mins.zbdyx

You guys surely haven't experience Malaysian internet connection, it took me 1 hour to download an Assassin's Creed 2 patch... That's how slow it is here

PS3 has nothing to do with downloads, its your internet connection.

[QUOTE="gamer082009"][QUOTE="untouchables111"]Don't believe this guy "untouchables111" the #1 thing people say is *your connection* but it's definitely not for the most part. I iterate, I know somebody with Verizion FIOS and the downloads are atrociously slow on PSN for them. It is not however slow on a competitors online service (games on demand) which seems to be extremely fast, I downloaded Resident Evil 5 (the whole game) which was like 6 almost 7GB in size and it finished in less than an hour. I too experience slow downloads 90% of the time, BUT ONLY on PSN with my 20mbps connection. IT IS ON SONY'S SIDE FYI! They limit it, just like GameSpot limits your download if you're are not a paid user. [QUOTE="todd2r"]

[QUOTE="gamenerd15"]

[QUOTE="gamer082009"] Nope, because Sony limits the speed at which you download games from their servers. Don't believe the people that say it's your connection because I'm pretty sure it's not. You wont get full bandwidth capacity and I stress that PSN is free service..and free don't always get you the best sadly!gamer082009

The truth is, a lot of people get 1MB per second and a lot of others do not. If some are and others are not, then that proves that it isn't completely on Sony's end if anything. Maybe the way their network is structured or something like that is preventing them from getting full speed, I don't know. Other people have claimed to download the God of War 3 demo in an hour or less. I personally got it in about 25-30 minutes. The truth of the matter is, not everybody thinks the PS3 is slower. Until you can actually prove that the PS3 is in fact slower on solid grounds, keep talk of the other console out of it. You always bring in the competitior yet again. Both systems are about even as far as my connection goes and I am sorry for those who are having trouble. Also just because more people experience something does make it fact. More people thought that the world was flat at one point and very few people thought the world was round, does that mean that it is a fact the the world is flat? No the exact opposite actually was the case. You can't prove anything and neither can I. How do you others are not being honest? Why should people believe you over others?

the demo is 2 gb, what do you expect, 10 min? if your connection is fast enought, you can download it in under 30 min, just like me, so it's your connection
