[quote name='mr ryles']so it can run with out the internet hooked up? I though that it was constantly sending out the data. Not just collecting it and then sending it all out at once.
So if I upload it then take out the ethernet cord then it finishes before I plug the cord back in. Will it just store it on the ps3 until the ethernet is plugged back in. or will that cause problems?[/QUOTE]
It works fine without an internet connection. It is not constantly recieving/sending data.
When it's done with the process, it will be at a standstill. Once you plug the ethernet back in, it will show a status bar of it uploading the finished WU. Then, a new WU will start. Once the new one has started, you can unplug the cord until 8 hours later when it's done. I've done this for all of my WUs, because I'm sharing a ethernet cord with the PS3/360 at the moment as well. No problems here.
