"If you are one of the many that has been suffering from the update/server errors then download the files below. I have successfully download the PC file from the Sony website and have uploaded it to megaupload to release a bit of strain of Sony's servers. Download if you like or don't as I don't really care. I just did this so others can enjoy the magical experience of bug fixes 
(seriously, I did it so I/you can play online again.) I have also added the official download like for those that don't trust me and so you can compare which downloads are faster for you."

LOL @ people saying these updates are pointless. there is obviously a reason for them. They wouldnt make us go through that process unless there was a point (seen or unseen).
Annoying, yes. pointless, no.
