Question about Playstation exclusives... *& download speed. (Destiny)

Just kidding. :P

But I wanted to give a friendly reminder on downloads:

If it looks like your download is going to take an unreasonable length of time, remember to go to the Network settings and hit "Test Internet Connection".

This should refresh the download, and cut the estimated time down drastically. I suspect the long download estimation has to do with download servers getting slammed. Works pretty much every time for me, though. This solution is for the Playstation, but it should be the same on Xbox, I think.

Yeah that didn't do a whole lot for me. Despite a 20mbps connection it's taken four hours to download 2.5gb and the estimate for completion has risen from 15 hours to 19 hours since trying to 'refresh'.

With any luck, it will be finished before TTK actually releases.

I just got home, started it, got the long estimation, did the Test, and now it says "79 minutes" left (estimates 3 hours on Sammy's PS4, even though they are both downloading at a speed of about 4-5mbs per second. Who knows?)
