Posting on this message board uses bandwidth.  Stop posting and your bandwidth will increase.  What also helps is getting your 17 year old brother to quit using his webcam to film his gay porn blog.  Even though that will eventually pay for his college tuition (and maybe yours), it's eating your bandwidth.

P.S. Tell your dad to stop looking at kiddie porn while you are dl'ing game demos, too.  That will also help.

What are you talking about, may I ask?
Have you a little first hand experience?

CattyKid, I was making him aware of the many possibilites of stolen bandwidth that would lead to his slow downloads.  I was merely having a little fun with him.  You Republicans crack me up.

They typically take a while.

One really weird glitch I found though, if I start a download, then exit, then download again. It will jump to 50%  laugh.gif

You can set the Xbox to automatically shut itself off, so I typically just set it to download when I got to bed, shut the controller off and leave it. when I wake up in the morning the console is off and my download is waiting for me  wink.gif

I know, I was just being facetious.  Should I have put a smiley face, or the [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] tags in there?
How's this?

(Second time my sarcasm has been mistaken for seriousness today on this forum alone).

I'm not a jerk, but I couldn't resist posting this.  Sorry if I offended anyone.

Twisted, that's exactly what I've discovered.  I have no idea why it works that way.

Oh, you didn't offend me.  I am NOT easily offended, trust me (if you're talking about me).

Bell, how long have you been downloading for?  Is it almost complete?

I don't know how long total it keeps canceling my download for some reason.

I had that same problem, go into youre routers settings and make some adjustments to firewall/protection!

(Quote) I have a fast connection(cable),but these things are really slow.plus the game I am downloading is only 486.44mb.If that were a mp3 it wouldn't take 2 mins to dl.(Quote)

Its going to take a little bit to download man. You have to figure that the average mp3 is roughly 3 to 5mbs. Depending on the quality. That download your trying to get is 486.44mb. There is no way that you are going to be able to download that demo in 2 minutes. Regardless it still shouldnt take that long to download. Go eat some lunch or something.

With that size file and the XBLMP download speed I'd say it will take about 2 -2 and a half hours average

Slower or faster depending what time of day you're trying to get it too.
