I hope Sony improve their servers or something. I mean come on, a 700MB demo should take, what 70 seconds in theory, so why does it take like hours sometimes?!

Anyone else find its slow?

Yeah it is slow. However you're comparing MBytes to MBits, so the math is a bit off. It's actually 8bits per byte. To keep it simple just say 10bits per byte, so it'll take 700 sec at optimal conditions with a 10Mbit connection. I hope that helps. The PSN network, I've noticed is very slow too, especially at peak hours.
