I just bought Warhawk on the PSN, its been 10 minutes and it's still on 0%. What gives? Is it normally this slow or just me?

So, you just said it took you all night, but then said it's just me that it's slow...

hmmm...

all night to download 1 700 meg file, no matter how busy the server is, is pretty bad.

i downloaded release night when a gigillion other people where as well. thats why it took so long for me. DL it now though should be pretty quick depending on the connection you have. 10mins sitting on 0% sounds a bit odd though

Most the demos ive downloaded (around 700mb to 1 gig) take at least a few hours . I can usually get 2 to 2 1/2 demos in a night. Im on adsl 1500

I think it might have to do with my connection. I work out of guest house and all of my connection is wireless from within my house. My XBOX Live connection works fine though and downloads fine, but with PSN i get server errors sometimes...

I haven't had issues... stuff that's around 700-1gb size will take me overnite, but most other stuff 100-500 meg is only bout an hour (from US/AUS/HK/JPN Stores). I'm also currently on 256 wireless (will be switching to 512 on 08/03...)

If your downloading in the background and playing a game that is network enabled, it susppends the download to make the bandwith available to the game.

it shouldnt take long, although it can depend on the server speed from the psn too, it may vary from time to time.
