Are there any known problems downloading update 1.03 for the PS3? I have high speed internet and just downloading the GOW demo no problem but the NFS 1.03 update is taking hours and eventually just crashes mid way. Is there any other ways to update from like an sd card or something? Thanks!

Mine too, I mean really slow. file size says 2068Mb (2Gb). Its like being on an ancient 14.4 dial-up modem. If it was 28.8, it'd almost be done! I started to d/l yesterday at 4pm. By 7pm it was at 4%, I tried cancelling/restarting but then it was even worse. Trying it today, started at 11am, its now going on 4pm, 31% and says 558 minutes left! My connection is fine. Other downloads are fine. The 2 add-ons I got this morning b4 trying this one were 2gb each & were done in less that 30 min. Then I tried the game update. Ridiculous.

I don't think this is an issue EA can't do too much about, as the patch is most likely hosted by Sony. Cancel the download if it freezes and try again. I managed to download the patch on the 3rd or 4th attempt.

Took four tries here too... first three times it was saying it would take 185 hours,,after an hour it would freeze. Fourth time, 60 minutes and finished no problem

I gave up after 10 hours & went to bed. My gf said it was sitting at the 'push start' menu when she work up. Must've taken 15+ hours for a 2gb file. Where'd they host it at, 9600baud.com? I have a feeling that PS+ people had faster access.

It shouldn't be like that. My internet is not very fast and It took me about 2 hrs to finish the download.

Servers where probably overloaded when everyone downloaded the large patch at the same time.

Ya think? 'They' should have had the expectation to have enough server bandwidth to prevent us from downloading at 1990-era speeds. I really like the way you "solved" our issue with the word "probably" in it. How can players helping players forum be effective when the game software itself is so badly coded? SONY & EA really know how to ppo.

I have attempted to download this update (version 1.03) on 4 separate occasions. Over 2 different days. It currently sits at 14% complete after 90 minutes. This problem is NOT solved. Clearly it is not because so many people were attempting to download it. I refuse to allow my PS3 to run for 10 hours just to play a game.
