#142048 Download Sonic Racing in E-Store on Fios Connection - 8 Hours!

Posted by nd23rin on 02 December 2012 - 09:03 AM

So far I am really liking the Wii U, but last night I had some people over and decided to impress them by downloading a party type game, so we chose Sonic Racing.  My internet connection is fiber optic through FIOS and the download took a whopping 6-8 hours.  My friends went home and I let the download go while I went to sleep and after it finished this morning it then started to "install" which is saying "time remaining 28 seconds" but its already been installing for 30 minutes and its not even half way done.  Is this some kind of a joke, or are console players just so used to garbage network optimization that this is expected.  I can download a 15GB game on my PC through steam and it takes about 1 hour tops.  I figured maybe going to a wired connection might help, but oh, you need to buy a special adapter for that???

Im so glad I bought the deluxe edition Wii U with the upcoming discount on Nintendo Store titles.....maybe not so much.

I am not a pretty tech savvy person, so I'm not sure if I am missing something here, but is there anything I can do (port forwarding, UDP, TCP) with my router to help with this.

Thanks!
