It usually take SE about 3 weeks after each major version update to get everything settled. Downloading takes up a hellavu lot of bandwidth since their d/l system isn't very effecient b/c of the ps2. Also, even if the servers are up and running and there's no mentioned maintenance going on, they'll sometimes work on the servers while they're up which causes a bunch of lag. It'll get better. It's actually extremely better than it used to be. I remember Chains of Promathia being an absolute mess for 4-5 months.
