Well, I've never had an update take more than an hour, but this newest update has been downloading for going on two hours and is only at 19%. I don't think it's my connection because all previous updates have gone at a decent pace. Anyway, anyone else have this problem?

Nope. had to do two system updates yesterday (for some reason) and it took me 30 minutes to do both.

2.10 didn't take you forever? I got to 50% and then an error occured!

Kingofapples · #4 12-26-2007, 10:46 AM

Nope. but my dad has got the best internet router and stuff so that probably helped.

but i was using wireless so i was expecting it to be slow

If you just got a ps3 for chritmas and your updating it, its gonna take alot longer than normal becuase the ps3 has missed lots of updates so it needs to cram them all in. People who have always had them since launch have done them in short intervals.

I've had my PS3 since launch, just haven't touched it in months. I'm trying to d/l it wirelessly, but man this thing takes literally forever. It goes up maybe a percent every 10 minutes.

Exactly that means you have missed many updates and/or you could have a slow internet connection, i suggest going on to the sony website then downloading the latest update via flash memory stick, iv been told that way is quicker.

I have RR Cable internet, I'm running it wirelessly though. I've never had an update take longer than 15 minutes so I'm sure it isn't my connection, it's just every update I missed. But, it did time out at 50% last night, so if it does it again I'll be forced to buy a USB Memory Stick.

AbsoLut3 · #9 12-26-2007, 06:05 PM

It timed out again, why does it do that? It takes forever to get to 50% then it times out at around 53%.

I got mine for christmas

My parents bought it at the end of november so i had to do all the updates

I also did it wirelessly to but mine did it really quickly

Might be the internet connection

maybe its the fact alot of other people could be downloading the update same time as you sometime that happens to me

EvilWaterman · #12 12-28-2007, 10:36 AM

reset the router

mikey · #13 12-28-2007, 10:55 AM

Mine takes about 10-15 minutes

Something is up with you're connection. What a ****ing nunsense timing out at 53% after you have waited about 2 hours. I hope you broke something to take your anger out lol.

I haven't updated in ages due to the fact that I really don't wanna go through the whole arduous task of setting up the network again. I might do though, when Burnout comes out.

NightCougar · #15 12-28-2007, 02:02 PM

dont have that problem, take 5 min or so to update them im away

glynn.casey · #16 01-04-2008, 01:28 AM

I took me 20 mins on Christmas day to download 2.10 after I went through the setup.

zak_2008 · #17 01-04-2008, 11:00 AM

I had the exact same problem...took ages to download the latest update. Now since then, I have been experiencing extremely slow downloads...definately something to do with the new update,..
