Okay, my download speed was just fine before the new update, but now it is taking me literally hours to download something like the Forza 2 demo.  Has this happened to anyone else?

The same thing happened to me yesterday while trying to download Command and Conquer stuff.  I have no idea what to try to fix this, and it sounds like I am the only one here with the problem.

No for me the speed has increased greatly. I downloaded FOrza 2 in less than 10 minutes when before the update it would have taken up to half an hour

Ok, my downloads are takeing FOREVER. How long are they supposed to take? A few months ago, I downloaded the COD2 demo, that took about 3 hours. I'm downloading the Forza demo right now and it's been going for 3 hours and has only loaded 25 percent!! How are some of your guesses downloads taking 10mins? Even before the update they took a few hours. Are your internet speeds that much faster than mine? Arrgh...

While I am sorry it is happening to you, it is nice to know I'm not the only one!

Also, how does the background downloading thing work? Do you just enable it and turn off your 360?
