I've found the "Automatic download" feature on PS+ to be handy for this.

Set it to go early in the morning and it does everything for you.

I have been having similar issues lately too, i think there is a way you can do something like a check disk for PC's but cant recall how to do it.

What is your broadband speed? It took me a couple of days to re-download 250 - 300Gb and I have 70Mbps BTInfinity.

Oops, sorry. I did notice that some of them did take a long while to install after the download but to be honest I just walked away and left it for some hours!

im on a 10mb with sky i can average around 1.4 mb download through steam the speeds on PSN are reasonable nothing like XBL but its a free service so cant complain but it took me forever to install rdr and theres no way to back out once the process starts

I find if I am downloading a large file and also installing a large file at the same time I find it easier to stop the download first and let the game install as it is trying to read and write to 2 different points on the HDD.

Thats a good point actually as i have only noticed this happening since joining plus so when one game is installing the next in queue has probably started downloading.
