Mar 31, Ceannaire said:. jsnepo Banned. Oct 28, 4, I've noticed that whenever my PS4 downloads off Limelight Networks CDN, it's really slow. As in really fucking slow. Anyone else noticed this? gebler said:. Right, downloads are throttled while you have a game active to avoid stuttering and other performance problems relating to shared HDD access.

Right, downloads are throttled while you have a game active to avoid stuttering and other performance problems related to shared HDD access. ridaxan Member. Oct 29, Cape Town, South Africa. Wired or wireless. The CDN providers they use is actually the problem. EarthPainting Member. Oct 26, 3, Town adjacent to Silent Hill. In all fairness, my wired experiences aren't all that different.
I have to babysit my PSN downloads, pausing and resuming every time they drop too much. I wonder if this is just a problem with European connections. Could just be a bad CDNs in the chain. Okay I tried each of these suggestions and it has sped up substantially. It's still slow but better than before lol. Spacejaws said:. Bear in mind it should only work on the same ring main, so if your router is downstairs but ps4 upstairs the signal might not pass through the fusebox to the other lines. I get mixed messages, sometimes it works and sometimes not. I'd say it's well worth a shot though and just send them back if it doesn't. Theoretically it's not supposed to work so if it did for me I think I'd be worrying my fusebox is fucked up lol.
defaltoption The Fallen. Oct 27, 10, Austin. Downloading then playing a game in the same day is just not possible for me most of the time and that sucks. PSOreo Member. Oct 27, 3, I had no idea this existed. Will look it out! Nov 14, 1, Main reason I jumped on the Pro, the 5ghz is night and day. You can always try a "wlan cable" ;-. dunkzilla alt account Banned. Dec 13, 4, Pretty sure its just PSN. I was going to create this thread yesterday. I plugged in an ethernet cable yesterday while downloading something, switched the network settings to use it and was getting the exact same slow speeds as through wifi. I had to keep pausing and restarting to keep it at a decent speed but it was still incredibly slow compared to my pc or mac mini that are plugged into my router. Is it? I moved my PS4 Pro downstairs right near my router and still has terrible download speeds. I'm even considering buying a switch and just connecting it to ethernet. Soap Member.
Oct 27, 9, Solobbos Member. I have a connection wired with a 0. Xbox and Switch both work faster. PSN is and has through the generation been a slow ass infrastructure. Azurik Attempted to circumvent ban with alt account Banned. Nov 5, 2, Psn download speeds are generally crap. On my 1GBPS wired connection, it can tank as low as 50mb. Currently, I hardly go above netflix etc, turned their throttling off again. XBL on the other hand has much, much better speeds. Hopefully next gen will have WiFi 6. On my iPhone, I easily get around mb which would be amazing for wireless gaming on consoles if there was no throttling. Syysch Member. Oct 30, It was usually between mediocre and capping my downstream before that, just based on luck which server it connected to and I got in the habit of adding things to the download list while at work and remote playing from my phone to get them going and done before I got home.
xir Member. Oct 27, 8, Los Angeles, CA. I just put in an sshd and downloaded a digital copy of Bf1 in two hours. With stock hard drive it took overnight to download with the same exact internet connection…. easy to do. There is no way your hard drive was slowing down your download unless you had something like 10 simultaneous 1GB NBN connections coming in. Cant wait to try this. Spent a few hours the other day trying to determine why Ps4 downloads were so slow on my new fttn connection. Max i could get was around 18mbps, the connection is capable of 90ish. Ethernet was even slower then wifi for some reason. PC and Xbone download fine, up to 9 Megabytes a sec from good servers.
Not really sure why you feel bad for him?? Go feel bad for the people who are meters from the Node. Not everyone gets a bad experience on it. Meh I downloaded RE7 20GB in less than an hour last night at home. That IP address is in Hong Kong, China no wonder it is so slow. Interestingly, I have a proper firewall at home and China is one of the blocked countries and the PS4 keeps working properly. Now I understand why our downloads are so much faster. Thanks for the article. First of all, this is against the PlayStation Network Terms of Service as it is deliberate act of network disruption between the console and servers. This particular IP range is owned by Limelight Networks, the CDN which has hosted PlayStation Network and other Sony Interactive Entertainment content since The Secondly, while what this article is encouraging may seem harmless, without comment from Sony or one of its subsidiaries there is no way to know whether the routing of traffic offshore is by design or not; there may be a very good reason why content is not served first by a local content source….
Instead I see a lot of activity between my console and Limelight servers hosted by Telstra my ISP. It should not take me a day and a half to download a game the same size as something that downloads in an hour on Steam. Really unacceptable. Basically you find your local PS4 CDN and point the DNS name there via your router or a proxy. This means that on fast connections it does a lot of waiting for ACK acknowledge and confirm packets, which is highly dependant on your ping. So no matter what, PS4 WAN downloads will be gimped. What you can do is download some programs and use a PC on your network to use as a CDN, and LAN downloads are using a normal packet encapsulation. I find it very interesting they are saying this is for Australia.
Not to mention the fact, as already mentioned by several people, that most modems do not allow you to block specific IPs as well as the fact that you then have to unblock those IPs to actually play the game. I never have any problems with PS4 downloads. Every game downloads at close to my 55Mb speed. My Xbox One on the other hand is woeful! Flacutates from 55Mb right down to Kbps!

You will probably never get these kinds of speeds from the PlayStation Network. And the funny thing is, neither could we. That was until we made one single change. Everyone knows how crappy download speeds on the PS4 are. And that was the same case for developer Lance McDonald, who tried to download GTA V only to encounter the gut-wrenchingly glacial pace that the PlayStation Network likes to serve content at. So he looked into why it was. Pro-tip for PS4 owners in Australia. Block this IP address on your router to make your PSN downloads go about 5x faster.
And as it turns out, the trick works. After blocking the servers, McDonald found his PS4s were finally downloading at the kinds of speeds his internet was more accustomed to delivering. We tested the trick out in the Allure Media offices, where we have the luxury of a fat fibre pipe. When we began testing over Wi-Fi, the best download speeds we could achieve were around 18mbps. When connected via an ethernet cable that speed improved to just around 33mbps, which was better but still pretty substandard for I wish I could download all of Destiny in an hour flat. Before we blocked the IP, it would have taken several hours. According to McDonald, the server was necessary for online play and it also hosts a lot of assets on the PSN store. Better to be safe than sorry. Just remember to unblock it before you try to play games online or browse the store, that server hosts a lot of assets.

If that occurs make a lot of noise to your provider. Hit up every executive email you can and network upgrades will happen? Whereas most decent routers do have an option to block specific ips. I thought that was the case with my Telstra one as it would only let me block 1 ip via the firewall, but with mine I found you can block subnets via the parental controlls.
Substandard for some perhaps. If I get 30mbps on my fixed wireless literally the only option things are pretty sweet. And once the NBN finally rolls around it might give a theoretical max of 25mbps! net the result was just over 10Mbps about 10 times faster than before I got NBN down and 0. Pretty shit that I can get better internet beamed to a rooftop dish in a neighborhood full of damn trees by some local startup than you can on a billion dollar fibre rollout. Probably on a cheaper plan too. I randomly decided to actually unwrap my copy of The Crew on the weekend to give it a quick go only to be faced with a 7gb download wanting to take the better part of the day on an Optus cable connection. Wish I had of known this a few days ago when I downloaded Doom. So glad NBN is due to hit mid year. The ps4 always seems to hit a bottleneck at about 38 mbps something to do with how it habdles server requests, their is a whole reddit about it.
Whenever I test PSN I get around mbps Sometimes a bit lower but usually up there. When I test the PSN, I get around mbps. However, the download speeds are no where near that and usually cap out at around 32 mbps. Better tip yet is to upgrade your hard drive in PS4 to either an sshd or an ssd card if you can. I just put in an sshd and downloaded a digital copy of Bf1 in two hours. With stock hard drive it took overnight to download with the same exact internet connection…. easy to do.
