I found that assigning the PS4 a static IP and then opening the appropriate ports for that IP on my router was the best way to go. I did this on day 1 though, so I'm not sure what it would be like otherwise. Downloads are very fast and my NAT is fine. Bump for information! User Info: dupadupa.
Its not very helpful. User Info: HazyByName. The secret is you read all that text and your game is downloaded. This may work for some, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it than this. When I do a connection test, the speed it shows is perfectly fine.
However, when I actually download something, it's completely obvious that it's nowhere near the quoted speed. Throwing it in rest mode solves the issue. Whatever the blame, all kinds of anecdotal complaints and observations of the PlayStation 4's inconsistent download behavior have taken hold over the past four years. Does putting the machine to rest help? Why are my downloads faster after this firmware update? Snellman attributes the latter to an update closing every open application after the system reboot.
And Snellman posits that there are legitimate reasons for limiting the receive window. But that doesn't excuse the limitations enforced by secondary apps like Netflix, he argues. And since they can keep running with the user unaware, here you have the problem.
That is as close to a layman's explanation as I can make of some very intricate networking terms and concepts. I recommend reading the whole thing for yourself to get a better understanding.
It makes no guarantees that it has the answers, but at least you'll come away from it knowing that you aren't crazy: PS4 download times do suck.

A proxy is like a gateway to the internet most commonly found on a corporate network. One Reddit user explains how this can help improve your download speeds:. By getting a computer on your local network to do some of the heavy lifting, it may be possible to increase your download speed.
This is especially true for early PlayStation 4 models, which have notoriously flaky network adapters. Hold the Options key and click on the Network icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Keep in mind that your PS4 will need to use this proxy to access the internet. The DNS servers you use determine which servers are resolved when you enter a web address. Some have theories that your choice of DNS servers affect which servers your console uses for downloads. The best way to do this is to change your DNS servers on your router, which will affect all devices on your network.
When was the last time you tested your internet speed? If your internet speed is slow to begin with, nothing you do to your PS4 is going to improve things. Test your connection using a laptop or desktop computer by going to Speedtest.
