How Long To Download Game Ps4
- I finally just recently picked up a PS4 and downloaded GT Sport(which took forever). My question is.under normal conditions, how long does it take to download the Campaign Mode? I assume it's recommended to let that finish downloading first before downloading any other games or can I proceed to download a game while the Campaign Mode.
- The site estimated various download times for a typical 50GB PS4 title, and users with a 2Mbps connection could be faced with a download time of 55 hours. Even with a 10Mbps connection, you're still looking at 11 hours before the entirety of the game is nestled in your PS4's hard drive.
So I had to reinstall watchdogs this morning due to an issue with a update not triggering properly and I have been instantly reminded of the thing I hate the most in this new generation, installation. both machines seem to take forever to install games from discs. Its been 3 hours and I'm only up to 17% installed on watchdogs, fuck this shit... Its says I can play but we all know that its just the very beginning of the game that's playable and I wont be able to access my save till the install is complete
Does anyone know why this is? Are bluray drives super slow? I mean last gen games seemed to take about 5 to 10 minutes to install and they were about a quarter of the size (6 gig or so when compared to 17- 25 gigs) I expected an install time of maybe an hour. Why the fuck does it take so goddamned long.

What You'll Need
- Proxy server software (far easier than it sounds, don't worry)
- A computer
- Your PS4 and computer running on the same network
What To Do
- Download and install a proxy server on your computer. CCProxy is simple and has a free version for Windows computers. You can try Squidman for Macs
- After launching your proxy server, get its IP and port number (from the HTTP port listing). In CCProxy, you can just hit the Options menu to get this info
- Now, on your PS4, set up a new internet connection. Use the custom setup instead of the easy setup. Select auto for everything except the proxy
- Plug in the IP and port number you previously got from your proxy server. (When I set this up using CCProxy, the port was listed as '8080,' but you can try '808' if that doesn't work)
That's it. After literal years of intermittent Googling and tinkering with my router and internet settings, this solution actually worked. My PSN download speeds now reflect what I'm paying my ISP to provide. Downloading Mass Effect: Andromeda's 1.9 GB day-one update went from three hours to three minutes after the fix.
Wait!
It's worth noting that, for as long as your PSN internet connection is set up like this, it can only connect to the internet via your proxy. So, since I've never had a problem with actual ping or lag when playing online (only having the speed problems when downloading), I simply turn off the proxy after a large download has completed and reconfigure my PS4's internet connection back to my router. I don't download large files too often on the PSN, but if you do, it's up to you to decide if you want to switch between your proxy or not.

If you're wondering why this works, Redditor tibiazak explains it well. Basically, the PS4 doesn't grab a lot of data at once, but running it through the proxy makes it grab little amounts of data a lot faster.
