A (detailed) question regarding download speeds

Posted by Lemon Squeezy on .
Hey! I know, download speeds are probably a topic that the frequenters of Vimm's are sick of to death, but I do have a bit of a unique situation that I haven't seen. So, one day I'm checking Vimm to see what's going on, and I discover that PS3 emulation is now just a thing that's on the site, which is really cool. I download Persona 5 because like everyone else who has thought of PS3 emulation, that's what I wanted to play since it's been a while that I've been able to play P5. The download takes me about an hour or so. Totally fair. The game doesn't work very well, though. I assume that it was just a bad dump of the files after messing around with the emulator's settings a bunch, so I delete it for the sake of storage and try with a new download of the game, just split up into different parts. That doesn't work either, and seems like more trouble than it's worth to play a game I already have bought twice on PS4 taking P5R into account, but you know.. it's all about the novelty. So here's where the situation becomes troublesome. I come back to try again with the ROM dump of the game here, and I see that it's supposedly going to take about a 15 hours to download??? So I'm wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this. Now, keep in mind: all the circumstances from both downloads are the same. I try getting other games, particularly Persona 4 Arena and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, and they also boast some pretty nasty download times for the size of those games. So, is there any explanation for this? "Hello I am bad at video games"
