People say they should only take around 4-10 minutes to download. Mine takes hours. I bought it from the PSN Store for Black Ops.

Why does it do this? It takes so long.
 
PS3 online gameplay is free. You get what you pay for. Yes your type of connection is most likely the issue.
 
It just depends on your Internet like before I had some crapy as wifi and it took like 3 hours to download the map pack and know I upgrade my Internet and now it only take 5mins to download :)
 
It depends on
1. Your internet speed
2. The amount of people using the internet
3. NAT Type

For #1, My map packs usually take around 10 - 20 minutes at around 2-3 Megabytes per second, check your internet speed, you may need to upgrade.

For #2, I'm usually the only one in my family using the internet which let's me take advantage of all the speed.

For #3, there are 3 NAT Types, 1 being the best and 3 being the worst, if you are on a wireless connection NAT Type 2 is the best your gonna get, which is what I have, and it's enough whereas if you have NAT Type 3, there is clearly a problem which involves your router
