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.

No FW update, but the PS store got a few vids and two demos.

That's just plain ignorant.

Yes, I'm sure a lot less people were on trying to download MLB 2k7 compared to trying to download both NGS and VT3 at the same time.

Took me about 2 and a half hours to download the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Demo tonight. That is much longer than normal, but this is obviously due to the amount of strain on the Sony servers due to the demand of this demo. Sony should definately take note of how its servers were noticably slowed down by PS3 users and prepare for the future. They would not want this to happen for a game like KillZone...
