No problem ...After reading some of Blig's responses to the slow GT5
download thread, I checked into it & voila

Did it help your PSN download speeds? I'm curious to know. I
actually just did it on my router...it seemed to help.

Here's the link to the port list, for those that may not have seen it:

I haven't noticed any difference to be honest, 'course I haven't been doing
much more downloading since then. I did run one speedtest from my PS3 after
the fact and got less than 2Mbps, which is far off of the 9-10 I was getting
from my pc earlier, but I'm on cable and this isn't entirely unexpected.

the cool thing about the link I posted is that it contains the port
information on just about everything and will either set things up for you
or show you exactly how it's supposed to look as entered into your specific
router's config screens. it's been a while since I'd been that impressed.
