i can help the testing if you want

i'm thinking of using squid proxy for a start but i;m not sure whether it supports redirecting or not even though it has the caching utility. we may be able to exploit the cache folder for the redirection. for capturing the url, i think it will be sufficient enough with squid log (or wireshark).

i'll see what i can do after work later this evening

no i'm not

know a bit here a bit there. but by no means an expert

have fun staring at the black screen + progress bar while downloading patches & fw updates normally

I think it is easier if you use just 1 network card and use a network switch to connect the PC and PS3 instead of using 2 different network adapter

PC cant access PS3 internal HDD because it is encrypted and is using a custom filesystem

we cant use the f@h / life with ps as a redirect url anymore (since early 2008). you must use the original url of that content, initiate the download of that content (demo,video,etc) from psn store, and:

1) put it to background download (if you havent downloaded it onto your computer beforehand), download the file completely using computer, then resume the background download from the ps3 menu

OR

2) if you already have the file downloaded and set up the proxy correctly, it will proceed to download from your computer. you can let it download until finish in the psn store or you can also put it in background download.

from the pinned faqs thread:



i think this might be the cause of error during installation if using url redirection to diff content (eg initiate download in psn store for demo A, but resuming to demo B)
