The 'don't download in the background' fix didn't work for me - it would fail too. But my theory may apply to that - if Sony really are using a fault-intolerant protocol doing as little as possible to upset the download process would help.
The SPI firewall fix may be legit (i.e. maybe packet delivery from Sony sometimes looks like a DoS attack, which makes sense if they're just throwing a load of UDP packets at you), or it may just tweak some internal logic which makes things works better...who knows.
Right,
New PS3 slim, a few weeks ago, signed into PSN, and downloaded previous content:
Mortal Kombat 2,
Super Rub a Dub,
Super Stardust HD,
Little Big Planet Move.
Downloaded all in the background, all 4 failed at 14%.
Carried out the steps in my post above, and in the other thread.
Re-downloaded them all, NOT in background, all 4 installed fine.
Literally a few minutes ago, deleted Super Stardust HD.....tried download Super Stardust HD on my kids phat ps3, disabling SPI, on my netgear...downloaded in background...download failed to install at 14%.
Enabled SPI, deleted download, and corrupt install data, re-downloaded, NOT in background, Super Stardust HD installed.
So, SPI has nothing to do with it, IMO.
All ports on both PS3's open for the requires PSN access.
