Is it me or does Little Big Planet seem to download a ridiculous amount of unrequired data? I have been putting together a level in LBP and have found that whenever I do something of significance, such as undo or create something, the "I am communicating online" icon comes up and I don't know what for. I was fine with this (I did not know what it was doing or why but I figured it was some statistical analysis or something) till I got an email from my ISP informing me that i had nearly burnt up my monthly download quota (30 GB) in 5 days. Now I am shaped and I have to struggle through for the rest of the month on 64K connection speed (yes I live in Australia where net access is only dished out in small expensive doses). Just to be clear I have not published the level or anything like that and I know I can work around it by disconnecting my PS3 from the network but, why should I have to? I am not doing any online activity and yet LBP goes nuts on the download. Why would it do such a thing? Why not just connect online when I am actually doing something online? Also if anyone has any ideas on what it is downloading so much of, that would be appreciated too.

It stores your undo/redo stuff on the servers when you're online. At least, I'm pretty sure that's it. Oh, and welcome to LBPC. :hero:

Omg, I really hope Comcast doesn't have anything like this, I want to know as well, I really didn't know what it was doing when the icon popped up, it would do it for the simplest things too, like I would put a block of dissolve material, just pressing "x" would have the icon pop up.

Ok, so I figured it was storing my every move on the servers for so much information to be burned up by it. My next question would be, is there a way to stop this as I don't really want to have to bring my PS3 offline everytime I insert LBP into the drive?

The only way is to take your PS3 offline. It's not that tough, though, just go to the settings tab.

Wow another thing that MM failed to take into consideration. Burning through that much bandwidth in just a few days. I'm curious what they were thinking when they made some of these design choices.

Personally I think you should be logging your traffic and confirming it is actually LBP sucking your bandwidth rather than maybe a torrent program or something similar. I am also in Australia with Internode on a 25 GB plan and Play and use LBP Create mode regularly and have not seen any excessive data usage while in create mode and trust me when I say with my create skills rewind is almost continuously in use. It will be pretty obvious as soon as you start logging your traffic which IP address is sucking all the bandwidth and then it is just a matter of doing a lookup on that IP to find out where it is going.
