Recently bought a PS4 and damn this is affecting me big time. Even the smallest updates take way too long. So is there still no fix? (except for buying one of those powerline adapters)
People on wired still experience the same issue.
The only fix is to go into rest mode when downloading. Internet speed has nothing to do with it, downloads are being throttled on the PS4, but either not at all or much less while in rest mode.Recently bought a PS4 and damn this is affecting me big time.

I don't
Isn't the issue server-side? I mean, I know the WiFi chip in the PS4 is pretty cheap, but it can't be that bad.

Must be. My speeds are slightly better wired, but still horrendous compared to downloading anything on my pc.

It is sever side since even on wire it says I have a great connection with my 100mbps connection yet when I download something... Time Remaining-9h it eventually lowers to about 1-2 hours yet on steam downloading a game like Bioshock Infinite with all DLC takes like an hour
Whaaat ?
I have 500 mbps on pc,ps4 is wired and it never went above 50..
I don't know why it makes a difference but local proxy allows me to max out my connection when a direct connection doesn't.
I use SKFUProxy on my server, no special settings. Just load it up, click start and input the proxy IP and port into the PS4. It worked last night when I was downloading Dark Souls 2, before proxy it was going to take 130 minutes, after proxy it took about 30 mins which is in line with my maximum speed.
It goes against all logic. I'm using the same internet connection. I'm using the same LAN path. Nothing is changing except for the downloads being performed on the proxy and relayed to the PS4. But it's been reproducible 100% of the time and as skeptical as I am I can't argue with the results.
It's just a Windows app, any Windows PC will work. I'm sure there are alternatives for other operating systems. No reason you couldn't do it on say an Android device for instance.I don't have a server, can I still do this some how?
Is anyone here currently using this program?
I'm wondering if the software is safe from any unwanted shenanigans and whether or not directly downloading the .pkg files can get you in trouble with Sony.
It took me like 4 hours to download Rocket League, which is 1.5 GB. Ultra Street Fighter IV was set to take 30 hours at 14 GB but I reset my PS4 a few times and the download finished in less than 2 hours. PSN is truly an awful service, especially with the PS4's garbage OS. When you have issues with the PlayStation store or the trash OS loading indefinitely (which will be often), just reset the console. It makes me so mad because the PS3 was so much better. I don't even think Sony has acknowledged these issues so we'll just have to take it for the rest of the gen.I just bought a ps4 exclusively for mp, I have my xbone for the exclusives and this is a total piss take, I can't load the motherfucking psn store and it took 5+ hours to do a 3gb update. Meanwhile on my xbox I managed to download titan fall with EA access in like 2 hours.
I'm fuming
I was dealing with the same issue but that custom DNS fix (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) solved it for me.
My ps4 is wired and I had show downloads last Sunday. I tried several DNS Server and I got huge increases! For gaming I had to switch back to my initial provider server.
CHANGING THE DNS SERVER IN THE PS4 NETWORK SETTINGS HELPS. look for open DNS servers on the Internet and try some.

It didn't work for me. Like before the DNS change, the PS4 speed test says 8 mbit down (which is fine, because I have 16 mbit and I'm going wired through PowerLine in an old building) and the 2.9 GB Bloodborne patch still took 3-4 hours to download. Which means I can download with around 2-3 mbit from PSN. That's pretty horrible.
The overall PSN experience is pretty disappointing for me and I couldn't see myself ever paying for it, while it's in such a state.
Whenever this happens to me (maybe 5 times in these 18 months) I just test my internet connection again and it's all fine.
Wired, people; Always use wired.
Download speeds have always been OK for me. Just checked and it took me around 30 minutes to download 7.5GB Witcher 3 patch (wired connection).
Perhaps it's region specific?
Well, in that case, I'm Irish, am currently with Vodafone, sporting a 50Mb download speed, wireless (I'm a mile away from the router, and I doubt my house's electric grid is capable for a decent power line connection) and from the PS4's speed test, I'm barely getting above dial up at 74.9Kb/s. Yet somehow, in rest mode, the downloads are lightning fast, as they should be, so what's the problem, I have no idea.That's what I've been thinking. Maybe it would help if people with problems would post the country they're from, instead of having people without problems chiming in and saying how great it is, while not offering a solution or suggestion at all.
