Crespelio-X12 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm installing Sleeping Dogs which is 17 GB and it says it takes 23 hours to complete. I tried everything there was a time it took 10 minutes to download 1GB, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I had a similar issue with the Batman update recently, it was saying it needed 30 hours to download 3gb so I looked around the web and found this solution to change the primary and secondary DNS to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 on your ps4 and thankfully it worked. edit - direct link in case my instructions sucked http://www.gameconnect.net/content/9731/slow-download-speeds-ps4-try/ Edited June 25, 2015 by Tomato 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Switch to Ethernet if you are on Wi-Fi. Edited June 25, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! Also if it doesn't work right away give it a few minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xionx Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 there are many posibilitys . Restart console helped me on ps3 sometimes . Restart router helps almost always. Maybe PSN servers are stressed . maybe your internet Provider has problems. hard to tell a reason without more info . try restart strats first .

GroovyLoopy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Pausing>Resuming works for me most of the time. Just keep repeating this process until you have a speed that matches your regular internet speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisisTheory Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) I was having the same problem. It was literally about 1MB every 30 seconds. I found this link though which was really helpful: Well, I would paste a link if I could work out how! Seriously, why does ctrl+v not work here? Anyway, google "A short pause remedy for slow download speeds on PSN" and you should see a tutorial on how to change your DNS number. If gives you 2 numbers, one's 'google DNS and the other's 'Open DNS'. I chose opend DNS and my download speeds are now back to normal. Edit: never mind, guess I took too long to type this out.

Lucas Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Seems to be a problem with PSN lately. I experience issues too. Driveclub still takes 9 hours to download the remaining 2 gigabytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A12 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Pausing>Resuming works for me most of the time. ^ This. It works for both consoles. It's Sony's servers throttling connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp483 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 PS4 downloads have been even slower than usual for the last couple of days. I've only just finished downloading a 15GB Elder Scrolls patch that I started yesterday afternoon and left on overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoko Kuroki Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 For me, when I download it takes forever, but when I put it in rest mode, games take 5-10 mins to download 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphon_Filter Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 My PS4 download speed is horrible and I don't to play with my router settings. There is an issue for sure Sony needs to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crespelio-X12 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Been whole days downloading the game on rest mode more 7 hours or more *sigh* Download done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mody94_Station Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 been having the same problem ever since I got my PS4, download speed is crap despite being connected to 50Mbs (dwn spd) via ethernet. My PS3 downloads games faster, and it is connected wirelessly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaBrett Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) There's a article somewhere about Sony looking into slower than usual download speeds for the EU. I'm not sure if its related to what ya'll are talking about but here. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-investigating-slow-ps4-download-speeds/1100-6428457/ Edited June 26, 2015 by MafiaBrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
