PS4, PSN Slow Download Speeds; Easy Tricks For Faster & Reliable Method

It's kind of irritating every time your PlayStation4 and PSN download speeds are so slow. Users need to wait for updates to finish downloading so they can play their favorite games but then get easily bored with the reality that the estimated time for completion will take several more hours to finish. Fortunately, there's an easy quick solution to this dilemma which has been proven to work according to huge amounts of testimonies all over the net.

According to PSU, the download speed solution involves a simple four steps process which usually only take a couple of minutes. The result is a satisfying faster download speed as the process can basically enhance the way every user's gaming software grabs all the data; every consumer must need a proxy server software, a computer, and the gaming device which run on a same computer with the same network.

First, download and install a proxy server on your computer; it is recommended to use Windows computers. Then launch the proxy server then get its IP and port number from the HTTP port listing. Next, set up a new internet connection on your PS4 by simply using the custom setup instead of the default setup. Take note, make sure to select auto for everything except the proxy. Lastly, plug in the IP and port number from the downloaded proxy server.

According to Forbes, this actually works compared to those Googling and tinkering with the router and customizing the internet settings. One of the brightest examples using the method mentioned above is downloading "Mass Effect: Andromeda" 1.9GB update which results from three hours into just three minutes after the fix; a massive improvement can be seen given the recent problems Sony is facing with their updates.

Sony's recent PlayStation4 update 4.50 got tons of complaints and critics about the slow download speeds and Wi-Fi issues. The company is now investigating the problem and starts finding fast solutions to the issue.
