This is driving me insane now. I put up with the slow speeds yesterday, but still tonight I am downloading things at roughly 500KBps, when I usually have a download speed of 3.5MBps on my PC (with Steam, etc.).

Why is it taking me 45 minutes to download a 1700MB game such as NSMBU? What the hell, Nintendo. Does anyone have any answers or knowledge on this subject?

(1735000KB / 60seconds) / 45 mins = 642.5KBps ... 1/6 and up to 1/7 my actual download speed.

:(

(Pre-emptively stating this: Please don't turn this into a digital vs. physical thread)

NSMBU is only 1.7GB???

Probably compressed.

Remember the update is 882MB and installed it is 5gb.

So perhaps the mario game is around 8gb-10gb?

i guess we will find out hopefully.
