I think the PS3 is known for slow download speeds. At lease when I got mine I had the same issue. Ended up created a proxy server and sending all the data through that, worked quite well.

PSN is indeed known for slow download speeds. However, you might be experiencing extra slow speeds for some other reason. Keep in mind that your downloads are also "installing", which takes awhile. so maybe 35% of that time is actually installing, not really downloading.

That said, I just want to confirm. You said you have your PS3 "connected" to your wireless router, which is 3 feet away. I just want to be sure you are connected with "wire", and not wireless (you will get better performance with wire).

10 patches, downloaded and installed over PSN is going to take sometime.

That's just PSN for ya. Try using a wired connection and see if it helps.

@Brian, the last time I downloaded something from PSN it only downloads it. The user has to select to install it once it's finished. Patches are a different story though, those will install straight away as they finish.

Right on. He mentioned he was getting 10 patches for LBPGOTY, so I assumed they were downloading and installing automatically.

Sometimes the PSN is fast for me, other times its horribly slow. It does depend on the time of day you are using it thou.

I have my Xbox, PS3 and Apple TV all connected by wireless, the Xbox and Apple TV both download items and my full line speed but whenever I download anything from PSN its slow... can't be getting any more than 50-80Kb's!

the PSN is not to blame. it's the PS3s wireless. i have my PS3 wired and PSN is fast as f*ck

I have no way to prove it's not PSN, but I believe it is. I don't think it's the PS3 (at least when it's hardwired). I haven't used the wireless on the PS3 before. Downloads on my PC and Xbox 360s are substantially faster.

Though it was worse at the beginning of the PSN life. Speeds have improved.

My PS3 is slow when it comes to downloading and I have it on a wired connection.

Your PS3 is 3 feet from the router, but you connect it via wireless...

Also complaints about slow PSN, heh you get what you pay for :rofl:

Yip my PS3 is connected wirelessly, and the downloads speeds are rubbish, the router is in another room, but laptop/iphone all have excellent speeds in the same room as the PS3. The Xobx kicks its arse in download speeds over wireless, and thats a G adapter, not N.

PS3 wireless used to be crappy, but now when I run the speedtest I get the same speed as my line rating (4.50Mbps - 5Mbps is the speed but there's a 10% overhead with ADSL)

I dont really care what speed it connects at, it streams my HD content from my PC to my TV downstairs with great quality and no stuttering. Also my internet connection is pretty awesome too ;)

Might wanna try getting a router with UPnP functionality though.
