Sounds like some people have this problem, but I don't. I recently downloaded the Killzone3 demo, 800 megs, I think it took an hour or two. Maybe change your DNS to google open DNS, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4? 

 


You realize that's still pretty slow right?

If it took you an hour or two to download that it means you're downloading between 120-250KB/sec.


Hmm, interesting.  For grins and giggles I decided to download the Killzone 2 demo (I don't have access to the KZ3 demo I guess) to see what my download speed was. 

It took me just over 29 minutes to download the 1027MB demo so I was downloading at about 690Kb/sec which is faster than I expected but still much slower than it should be (should be greater than 900Kb/sec).  It took me another 2 1/2 minutes to install the demo for a total of about 30 1/2 minutes to download and install the 1027MB demo.

While that's much better than I expected, now I'm really confused why to download and install a patch for a game or firmware it takes me nearly as long to download and install a gig demo (about 15-20 minutes).
