Can't Download Reader Library software

Automatic download of library software from setup program included with prs-300 cant connect to server to download software. Subsequent manual download is running at 1.2~2.8KB/S on a 2MB broadband connection shared with 3 other people. Execution of 'ping' command from command prompt in win Vista 32 Home premium, via wifi connection gave this report:

Attempt to download from www.sony.com resulted in a file of 0 bytes size being downloaded, which was of course useless.

Are the sony sites always this awful to download from or is it just today or something to do with my laptop?

NB, all other websites running fine. typically i can expect a ping time of 41ms on a normal day.

Thanks
