My comment to sony get with it if you want us to go digital. DNS my download speed went from 7 hours to 68 minutes, Thats over 10x faster thanks a lot:D!! Aug 20, 2017 - Complicating matters is that the PlayStation 4 doesn't always make it clear what. Why are my downloads faster after this firmware update? How to Make Your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One Faster (By Adding an SSD) Chris Hoffman @chrisbhoffman Updated June 20, 2017, 11:14pm EDT Sony and Microsoft chose not to ship the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with solid-state drives.
If you’re a PlayStation gamer living in Australia, we’re guessing you’re a little bit frustrated by the speed of your PSN downloads. Happily, a local developer has figured out a way to make things go faster, and we’ve got his secret.
Lance McDonald, creator of Australian indie game Black Annex noticed his PlayStation Network traffic was limping along and decided to find out why. Turns out that the traffic from his console was being routed to Japan, connecting to the “awful” Tokyo servers and maxing out at 3mbit.
To fix the problem, McDonald simply blocked the Tokyo server IP range directly from his router, then restarted the console. The console now connects automatically to an address in the 203.26.28.0/24 range, downloading content at a much nicer 30mbit instead.
You can do this too, by setting up a firewall rule in your router. Every router is different, but it should just be a case of blocking the address 111.119.22.0/24, which will trick your console into thinking the official servers simply do not exist. You can then restart your PS4 and prompt your downloads to connect to the new settings.
(McDonald comments that you don’t even really need to restart the PS4 if you don’t want to! Any slow downloads in progress will time out and fail, with a “Cannot download” message. At that point, simply restart the downloads, and they’ll connect to the new servers and grab the content much faster.)
That’s it! Download your demos and patches at ten times the speed you could manage before, but McDonald’s quick fix does need one more step. “Just make sure you unblock it again before you try to play online or browse the store,” he says.
*Note - This cannot allow you to download faster than your ISP provides unless you were to download the package file at another location.*
Another good reason to do this is would be if you have a bandwidth cap at your home but do have access to unlimited internet some place else. This way you can download 95+% of the game w/o having to use your bandwidth up.
Your PC and PS4 must be on the same local network.
The program I use is PSX Download Helper. Free download shopping mall games. Link to the original site here.
The program is in Japanese but you can change it to English.
If you don't want to bother changing it from Japanese to English, I already created a package with English selected here.
What you wanna do is launch PSXDownloadHelper.exe and will end up with this screen.
Make note of the IP the program gives. This IP is the one given to your PC on your local network.
When running the Driver Installer, choose your Bluetooth and controller devices you like to use with ScpToolkit. The next step depends on your. Ps3 controller pc driver. Added support for PS3 Controllers as a separate controller type. If, and ONLY IF your PS Now driver wasn't automatically installed, you can manually. Good job, you've figured it out even before I could read this comment. I use mine wired, you download the xbox controller driver from microhard, then you download pcsx2 the emuator for ps2 and find the.
You then want to go on your PS4 to Settings > Network > Set up Internet Connection
You should already have either Wifi or Ethernet selected based on how you are connected.
Click again and you should be prompted with this screen.
Choose Custom and then keep hitting X until you come to the Proxy Server Screen. Choose Use and under Address type the IP that was showing in the program's window from earlier as well as the port if it's different. Then in the program hit start. Back on your PS4 hit X to advance through the connection wizard and choose to test internet connection. If all was done well your connection should be successful.
How To Speed Up Ps4 Wifi
Now go to your Library and choose to download the game. Right after it starts go to Notifications > Downloads and pause it. You should then have a link pop up back in the program.
This link is the link to the game package. You can hit copy and then paste into a browser and start downloading it. Or if you have a bandwidth cap, you can choose to copy the link to a text file and then when you're at a place with unlimited bandwidth start the download then.
Once done you want to find the file. Usually in your downloads folder on your PC.
You then will either drag the file over or choose browser in the program. I dragged it over to here.
Now you go back to your PS4 to Notifications > Downloads and unpause the file that was being downloaded. If done right you should see the file being downloaded at an insane speed as it's downloading from your PC and not the internet now.
You'll also notice in the program more log files popping up.
How To Reboot Playstation 4
IMPORTANT - After you do this go back into network settings and make sure you set proxy server to 'Do Not Use' Otherwise you would need to have the program running all the time to play online on your PS4.
