    Can anyone tell me how long a GOD game takes to download?

    Right now I am downloading Saints Row off of Games on Demand and it's taking forever! I downloaded it an hour and 20 minutes ago and it's only at 14% :( Does it usually take this long? Does it eventually speed up? Does it depend on the game? I want to know because this is the first time I downloaded a Games on Demand game.

    It depends on your Internet speed.

    It depends on your internet connection, and the file size of the game. That sounds pretty slow but not quite unreasonable I guess.

    I'm going to up all night. The game is only at 43%. You know what sucks harder? If you play a game the download stops so I have to keep it on Xbox dashboard. Bullshit.

    You can shut the system down and it'll keep downloading stuff in the background.

    Make sure you turn background downloads on in the system settings menu first, before you turn it off.

    I think it's too late. It sure will be funny when he turns his system on and the download's at 0%.

    It's probably the hundreds of people who are all trying to download Saint's Row at the same time.

    No shit. It's just that it is a huge ass game to download with over 6 GB. It wasn't even worth it so far, I could make a thread about what I don't like about that game.
