Size of download files

[Dan Hintz]

I watched my PS3 Destiny update of 2.8GB download in about 18 minutes... and then had to wait 24 hours while their servers tanked and wouldn't let anyone log on :-/ Sometimes fast transfer speeds are wasted

I used to have a wireless internet carrier with peak speeds of 3mb downloads, but often around 10% of this at peak times. We tolerated it because it had no data limits. 4G service through the cell phone companies had really small data allowances and $10 per GB for overages. That size file might take about 7-8 minutes to download at 3AM or over an hour on a Friday afternoon.
