    it might just be me being stupid but is it actually only one game? I downloaded all the Sonic files and 3 of them downloaded and installed within minutes as they are only about 15mb. One of them is taking a few hours and is 4gb. I cant seem to see a way of playing the ones that downloaded really quickly, it looks like they are just demos?
    Knock me down I'll get right back up again, I'll come back stronger than a powered up Pac-Man

    when you click on those it opens the ultra slow dixons installer, begins saying around 5 hours bumps upto 100 hours when everyones on there and doesnt go down again til everyone is in bed, mine finished downloading 1 game at 4am lol.

    turns out it was just me being thick. If you don't press return when you load the game a demo just automatically starts. Weird how it only took me about 3 mins to download 2 of the games and its taking other people hours though

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I love Sonic, but it will still be downloading at 8.00am tomorrow. That is an improvement on the first speeds of 1400+ hours - over 58 days lol.
