I’ve been downloading the MLB 2K7 demo for literally more than 3 hours now, and I’m only at 67%. I’ve tried cancelling and restarting, rebooting modem and router, but no luck. The 360 shows 4 bars of wireless signal, the router is showing 54Mbps transmit rate (as confirmed on my laptop). I did a bandwidth speedtest and I’m getting 5Mbit download, which is my cap from Road Runner. So it’s not on my end.
Microsoft needs to either not cap downloads (if that’s what’s going on), or get some more bandwidth for the marketplace servers.
[Update] I’ve been downloading the MLB 2K7 demo now for over 5.5 hours. I’m sitting at 86%. This is some grade A bullshit here. Microsoft needs to do something about these servers.
