PSN Downloads - Very Slow

[Wayne]

I've been downloading Mirror's Edge for about half an hour and it's only done 22% and the demo is about 950mb. Can anyone tell me why it's downloading so slow? Thanks.

[brandon]

Dunno mine's the same. Same when downloading updates so I do it off the computer instead.

[Wayne]

You download demos off the PC? Or software updates off PC?

[kk.]

software updates.
Apparently it helps if u turn yourself to unavailable??

[Wayne]

I'll try that now mate, thanks.

Software updates, I'd do the same for demos but I can't find any.

[Wayne]

I changed my status to not available and watched the demo download and it went up my 1mb every 3 seconds. That's like, 0.33mb per second. :@

[kk.]

thats 47 minutes right? better than what it was lol.
and much better than mine lol. it takes about 5 hours to download 950mb.. think urself lucky

[Wayne]

About 47 minutes yes, but it's already taken about 45 minutes. 5 hours is a piss take lol.

[kk.]

yeh so it went up :P
how long would it normally take. and are u downloading updates on your computer or someone else in ur family?

i know but i live with it :P

[Wayne]

I'm not downloading anything else on the PC or PS3, just Mirror's Edge. Ahh well, I'll just leave it downloading for the rest of the night. ;)

This is the very reason I got Warhawk on Blu-Ray rather then download - by the time it had finished downloading I could of gone into town and got it myself.

Lol Frodo. It finally finished and it took about an hour and 45 mins. :@
