What if some users got slow download speed when downloading from Sony's sever (even when downloading from another servers than Sony are faster) !!

So I made this tut for people like myself whom prefer downloading from PC!

In this method we are gonna grab the game data from Sony's server with a computer specially with IDM for better speed downloading... as if you notice some people are not very easy with PS4's downloading speed.

Tools You Need:

1. PSX Download Helper LINK: (psx.zip / Mirror - 897.28 KB)

2. A PC/LAPTOP

3. LAN Cable (ONE = FAST TRANSFER for NORMAL DOWNLOAD | TWO = FAST TRANSFER for FASTER DOWNLOAD)

4. PSX Link Generator LINK: (lgn.zip / Mirror - 201.1 KB)

5. A USB Ethernet Kit with drivers installed (ONLY IF USING TWO LAN CABLE METHOD)

6. A Working Internet Connection And A Modem

I. PREPARING THE REQUIREMENTS
TWO CABLE MODE (BETTER)

1. Connect the modem with cable to usb controller (or the internal Ethernet hub of your laptop).

2. Connect another cable to PS4 from Laptop.

3. In your laptop go to Internet connection settings and then go to change adaptor settings.

4. In this section go to the properties of adaptor that have the internet (that's connected to the modem)

5. Go to sharing tab and enable sharing for adapter thats connected to PS4 console.

If you use "one cable mode" you should use wifi adaptor and wireless connectivity to use the wifi network adapter as sharing adapter to the Ethernet hub that connected to the PS4... but remember downloading the games from Sony server is faster with lan cable than wifi (for all)

6. Run PSX download helper and write the IP address that showed up here and dont press nothing. (check off that it should be the ipv4's of adapter that connected to PS4)

PREPARING THE PS4 CONSOLE

1. Go to settings and then network.

2. Go to connect to internet and chose lan cable.

3. Use automatic in whole questions except *** PROXY *** and set the PROXY value to IP address that showed in PSX download helper in PC.

4. Save the settings and sit back for next episode :D

PREPARING THE PSX DOWNLOAD HELPER

1. Go to PSX download helper and press the big white button.

2. The program is Chinese and we all prefer english (not if we are Chinese) so we need to change the language. Go to fifth tab thats the setting. the sliding menu is for language so open it up and chose English. restart the app for taking effect!

3. Enable all the options except "enable custom parsing" and let it unticked.

4. Select apply.

II. DOWNLOAD PS4 GAME DATA WITH PC FROM SONY SERVER
1. Go to your console and open notification center then chose downloads.

2. Start a download and you will see PSX app will get the requested link by PS4 console. after getting the link stop the download from PS4.

3. Copy the link using copy button of PSX app and then open PSX link generator app.

4. Paste the link and chose generate. wait for process.

5. Download all the generated files in single folder and name the folder as game's name. ex: battlefield1

6. Go to the settings tab and chose the game folder you made with first box ticked.

7. Start the download again and you should get a fast download like +50mb! your download may start late because of downloading a small DP file.

8. In many cases in middle of the download your download speed become slow, thats because of update package. when you noticed slow speed stop the download.

Go to the PSX app and you will see a new link like "A***_0.PKG" or " A***.PKG" is being requested. Do the same method with ps4 link generator for update files and download them into game's folder.

9. After having both download and base game data continue your download and your game should finish the installing in fastest time.

Expected transfer speed: i transfer 15GB in 4 minutes with CAT6 lan cable and core i5 laptop. Many says windows 10 and 8 are better for transferring. In some rare cases you should redo all adapter sharing section in every restart.

@devi0us Thanks for your sharing here I used to use this program for 2 years now, and it was working great but I used it yesterday and a week before and the program is crashing on the middle of the download process and I am forced to close/start it again and resume the transfer on the ps4.

does this happens to you too, is it a program issue with latest sony FW or it is an issue with my PC only!

I reinstalled windows7 again and still have same crashes.
regards
 
Hi dude, ywc

Bro i sugesst you use windows10 because it got a better speed than 7 and also crashes are less. Lets start troubleshooting with changing from 7 to 10. Give it a try.
 
Hi ...first of all thank you for visiting my query... i somehow managed to use PSX download helper to download Metal Gear Solid 5 (which is free this month) but my .pkg file is starting from 00_3?

is it ok ? as the game size is 27 GB (as on PS website and the if i start the download from 3 then it is ending on 5 (3-4gb, 4-4gb, 5-4gb, 6-1.12gb)?

So should i start the download from 00 instead?
 
I merged your post in the PSX Download Helper thread since this is where it's most likely to get answered... hopefully @devi0us or someone else who uses this method regularly can help us out. <3
 
plz help i have ps4 on 5.00 version i tried to use this method does not work, i spent hours trying downloading a game. i followed all the steps but no links appear in psx helper
 
use exactly like this:

Step 1> Open the psx but don't click start.

Step 2> Start PS4 settings network wifi/lan custom and press next until proxy settings. Enter the proxy IP from PSX downloader but do not press next.

Step 3> Click start button in PSX on laptop, let it do its think

Step 4> Press next on ps4 and complete the setup and do the test at the end.

Both PS4 and your PC should be connected to same wifi/LAN

Start any game download that you want let it download for at least 5/10mb then pause it. In psx you will find log which contains the url of the game. Copy that into a text document.
