    PS3 Download times of demos

    Is it normal to take hours upon hours to download a demo about 4 gigabytes in size? Sometimes it takes 30 seconds for one megabyte to DL, sometimes it takes 11 seconds for a megabyte to DL.

      4 Gigs can sometimes take a couple of hours even on my PC (5 MB-ish connection). What's your usual download speed?

          Yeah, it happens to me too. I was trying to download NBA '09 The Inside demo, and it got to 10% and then started going really slow. After a while it went back to higher speed and then slow again.
          My Specs:

          ZX Spectrum
          CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
          GPU: Monochrome display
          RAM: 48 KB
          OS: Sinclair BASIC

            I wonder if XBOX users look at us and say, they may have blu-ray, but....touche!

              It's absolutely awful. One thing they definitely need to improve on.

                My PSN DL speeds are pretty consistent with the other computers in my house. If something seems to be taking an especially long time, I start it over or download it later, just like I would on my computer. I don't see it as a PSN problem.

                And what demo is 4GB?
