1hr-2hrs depending on how much traffic of how many people downloading. IF theres a tons of people a download can take around 2hrs. like when R&C was released it took awhile.

Mine took 25 minutes to download the Turok demo. And that was right when it hit the PSN.

I get about 1mb/s.

The Demo is very long, and it is worth it. Took me about 2 hours. Maybe a little less

1st of the comment that PSN is free so u should be lucky anything works is total crap. So far all of the downloads for me have been more than fast. However as of recently, maybe last 2 updates, it has been miserably slow. Actually so slow i canceled the Turok download after hours of download and only 18% gain.

Not really sure but it seems that it is something server side. So either Sony is preping an update, or an overhaul, or maybe just shifting stuff in preparations for Home!

With a wireless connection it takes anywhere from about 15 to 20 minutes including the the installation time of the demo. Firmware updates download at about the same speed as well. I don't have the ultimat connection but it's a constant connection (DSL).

1. It depends on how fast your internet connection is.

2. Midday is most traffic, but if you have a high speed connection, won't slow down much.

3. Keep in mind that PS3 demos range from hundreds of MBs to over 1G of memory, so it may take a bit.

I posted pretty much this same topic yesterday. Glad to hear that other people experience the same thing. The length of time doesn't BOTHER me, I just wanted to make sure something wasn't wrong. I'm upgrading my firmware today though, didn't have a chance last night. Everyone seems to say that works.

I have a 3.5 - 4MB broadband (Wired) from Bell Canada and 1 GIG demo takes me anywhere from 20-30 minutes. That's 540 KBs per second.

I don't know what kind of trouble people are experiencing with PSN, I haven't had issues with it. The speed is same as my computer webpages.

It depends for me. I find it very fast in the morning, and very slow in the evening.

It takes me a long time to download a demo. My download speeds on the computer are pretty fast, though.
