No complaints here. Downloaded Madden in about 25 mins, which aint bad for 699 megs. and downloaded fight night in about 15 minutes. Its doing that running through a wireless router with two comps on it. Still trying to figure out why I payed a hundred bucks for it, but Its movin fast!

I think its a problem with everyone, no matter what connection speed you have. Takes forever for me also. Maybe were just not use to downloading such large files.

sounds like you may be better off going wired if you can handle the cable

Could depend on where you live... noone knows where xbox's main server location is.

could also be the popularity of the demo at the time. If a lot of people are downloading the demo at the same time i imagine that would slow it down.
