I download every week from the store. The only problem I had was when I was getting the Shivering Isles expansion and it kept screwing up half way through. That was long ago and now I never have problems.

WOW, never happened to me, EVER. I just click on the download, click on the background download, and go about my business in the PS store or just exit. If I'm not playing a game, I'll go to the option that will turn off the PS3 once the downloads have finished downloading and installed. Something is wrong with ur connection/PS3. (also, I get very fast download speeds, like 1- 2 megabytes per second, I think that's pretty fast. Downloaded the KZ2 demo (1.2 gigs) in like 20 min max)

I'll make a video tonight after the wife goes to bed and show y'all what I'm talking about. Hopefully y'all can tell me what I'm doing wrong. ;)

I'm thinking it's your connection man, if your using wifi your ps3 might be to far from your router. That is one thing wrong with the system it doesn't have the best range for wifi.

Strange that you're having such issues. I found that from the moment I turned my ps3 on, the store worked quite well. It was easy to navigate(imo at least) and the transfers were very quick.

I wish my Wii downloaded things as quickly :(

See my first post or else follow these steps

find a really big demo for testing purposes

download using the background download option

exit the PS store

go to the network option in the XMB

Go to the download option that isnt normally there

press X a few times till your viewing the progress page

look at the data transfer not the % complete

ask yourself is the number on the left side growing

if all is well and its growing no matter how fast or slow its obviously downloading

hit O to go back to the file name of the demo your downloading

hit triangle

then cancal to end the download

post what happened here

Things Twesterm hates about his PS3:

-The Packaging
-Home
-*New* The PS Store.

(The controller, something about your thumbs? Or was that someone else?)

I think we should have predictions on what's coming next.

 Anyone else think this PS store business has saved us from yet another "Killzone 2 is disappointing" thread? :P

That's too easy, In the next episode I "really" hate the playstation, twestern is gonna discuss Killzone 2 demo.

PS Store has always worked great for me.
