(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is not done yet, but I will keep updating it as I find out new information.

For some reason my attempts at downloading and installing demos have been thwarted by this damn 80029564 error. I have managed to get only 2 demos fully downloaded and installed from about 10 attempts.

I have done quite a bit of research on the web about this and it appears to be related to your router and how your PS3 recieves download data from it. In particular your security settings (routers Nat, firewall settings etc.). Anyway after tweaking a few settings I have now achieved 4 sucessful demo download/installs in a row. Not sure if it is just luck or I finally fixed it, too early to tell.

The settings I changed: I am using a Netgear WGR614v7 router. I turned off the router WEP security - and still got the error. Turned off the router's UPNP - and still got the error. Disabled the router's NAT - and still got the error.

So then it was getting late so I changed mutliple settings on my last attempt before going to bed:
1. I disabled the router's SPI firewall.
2. I disabled the UPNP on the PS3.
3. I set the PS3's IP to 23 (eg. 10.0.0.23) and told the router to open up the ports (443,5223 for TCP and 5223, 3478, 3479, 3658 for UDP) for this IP address (see You must login or register to view this content.).

After these settings ... success (at least for the 4 demo dowloads to date - but I'll keep you posted). Personally I think it was #1 above that did the trick but I need to narrow down exactly what is cause the problem but it will be a long winded case of trial and error.

I'll keep you posted ... if anybody is interested.

Ok Ridge Racer has downloaded and installed successfully. This is by far the biggest demo I've tried to date. I had tried to install Ridge Racer twice under the old settings and had no success. I'm actually starting to feel confident that I've cracked this problem. I'm downloading F1 as I write this.

Ok F1 downloaded and installed fine also. Looking good!

Someone posted a thread needing help on this error so I thought I would post this to hopefully help anyone out who keeps getting this error.
