Ps3 Bad Company Update Problem

I'd tried a few times over the last week to update Battlefield: Bad Company on the PlayStation 3. Every time I tried I would get hung up on the "Downloading update data..." screen. It would stay at 0% for a few minutes and then briefly flash me an error code in the top right corner (8002AD23) and a few minutes after that it'd bounce me to another screen: "An error occurred during the download operation (80710723)"

I googled around for a while. Opened some ports on the router, plugged directly into the wall, restarted. I finally found somewhere that recommended I disable my media server via the network settings and BAM! "fixed"

My "source" for the "fix": http://www.fixya.com/support/t291065-ps3_system_update_error
