Probably just busy at the update end, it's got a net connection as it knows there's an update but can't actually get the download to perform it.

The new firmware update today will mean that the service will be pretty busy. I did mine at lunchtime and it wasn't too bad, still quite slow though.

Cool

Download it from Official PlayStation website: System Software onto a USB stick, then update your PS3. The download will take minutes.

Make sure you have this structure on your stick.....

PS3>UPDATE>PS3UPDAT.PUP
