as i said in my post it was shared but the original download link linked to the that link had an installer and did not work with windows 7 and vista cuz it needed .net 1.1 (which is preinstalled in vista and 7) i shared the tool without any installer
Professor_Baassiri wroteSo, you're telling me I can download any ps3 game from the internet onto my ps3? I didn't get it
this tool works in the following matter :
ps3 uses a proxy server (proxy server takes your request of connections) in order to connect to the internet and download the files. that tool will exploit it by allowing you to see the outbound links of updates and everything that the ps3 is trying to connect to.
That tool will allow your ps3 to download the update from your pc (ofc after u've downloaded the files you want) but using the 3rd tab in the tool
first box is the link of the update or a file you want to download. Second box is the location of which u've placed your file or update.
Guys has anyone tried this method yet ?! i have a 767 MB BF3 patch to download and i surely cant do it on my ps3 with the internet that we have here, and also the big amounts of electricity cuts that were gonna have this month ! has anyone tried this method yet? did it work ?!
And in the site, it says i need a router. Will it work without any router, i have cable internet no router or anything. And would you explain the IP address part ?! i didnt get what i have to do
man just do it you worry too much

BTW I did it on my ps3 (Ogero 256kbps)
You updated the 767 MB patch ?! through your ps3 ?! how many hours/days did it take you ! man, i cant do it on my ps3, the electricity can cut off any second,and even if im on 99% it will be canceled,and waste of time !
How the hell did you manage to download it on ps3 with only 256 kbps ?!

Hey Again, im about to get a router soon . So im gonna try this method, cause im sick of the electricity fails im getting after reaching like 50 % or the same errors im getting on the ps3 ! (ps3-error-code-80710723).

I still have a question though, after assigning the IP's both laptop and ps3, and while i started the download in pc, can i turn the ps3 off ?! or it should be on while the download ?
I know it should be on while the installation (Duuh) but is it necessary for it to be turned on while the download of the patch on the Laptop ?!
Why not get a UPS for your PS3 and Router that why you don't get disconnected nor suffer any corrupt data, but this is not a permanent solution for UPS only last up to 20min, give or take. Atleast it gives you enough time to shutdown the ps3 or the generator to kick in
@AVOlio after you obtain the download link of the patch feel free to turn it off
and plz read the steps and enjoy ;)
@gamer i alrdy said, using that method will give a much higer speed and the ability to pause it (using a downloader ofc, i highly recommend Internet Download Manager
HaHa !! yeaaaaa . I finally downloaded/updated the freakin patch !! Using this method !

Thanks alot man !!

King Gamer , it is no more possible to download games with this method . I think each time a different link to the download is generated (or something like that) . Unfortunately , the only way to download games is directly from your ps3 .
