I got the PS3 setup, initialized and updated( via internet) all OK.

I installed YDL no problems.

I tested my internet connection and was able to browse, both on the PS3 and on YDL no problem.

When I went to download the PS3 client from the main page here, I get about 1 or 2% (about 100-200K) if anything and then the download stalls. Did it about 10 times and never could get past that.

I then tried to download the standard client from the boinc.berkeley site. It got about 31% quickly and then stalled too, something like 1.3MB of the 4MB.

I could browse the internet at the same time, so I was connected.

I finally gave up and successfully downloaded on another computer and transfered to the PS3 on my CF card.

Once I got the PS3 client running it connected to my account OK and I let it run 10 test workunits. so download and upload via Boinc_client works.

Has anyone else experienced a download problem YDL on PS3 ?

Any suggestions on what to look for as a cause ?

Are you using a Wireless or Ethernet connection?

Ethernet.

When this happens on Linux on PS3. I can on that unit continue to browse the internet in firefox and on any of my other computers do anything email,download,browse. The PS3 also once I installed BOINC download 10 tasks and uploaded 10 results, but the file download was still stalled.

This is a new setup and I have not done any fine tuning. Basicially it is the way YellowDog installs it.

As this is a new setup, and I am not entirely familiar with Linux I do not know where to look for a problem.

Problem solved.

Don\'t know how it got fixed.

PS3 has been off for a week.

Today when I restarted it and tried a download, it worked no problem.

I had messed with some settings last time it was on, trying to solve the problem but they had no effect on that day.
