I've always noticed my Playstation products seem to have a significantly slower DL speed than my Xbox and especially my PC, but at least on PS3 I could generally download a gig in 20 or so minutes. Despite my supposed 20mb/sec DL speed, here on the PSN trying to cross download Flower at this rate will literally take 2 days. I started the download 20 minutes ago and I'm at 12mb downloaded. I'm not sure what's going on, as just Downloaded the 300 mb system update in about 5 minutes, so i know it's not my connection -- but anything from the store is moving at an unbearably slow rate. Anyone else have this problem? What's the fix, because this is ridiculous. I have no physical games for the system yet as nothing looked too interesting at launch, but I can't even download the free to play titles. Please don't tell me fast PS4 DL speed is directly related to my buying PS+?
A lot of players are reporting that on their PS4 systems they have a Copying Game screen that takes forever to finish. Preorder it last week as soon as 12AM hit the day it dropped I started the download. 2 days later still stuck on copying game. Lol wow never again. I don’t even want to play it if I had the disk I would’ve sold it for a. The solution is to delete the game completely from your PS4, and start the download again. Once the PS4 adds the ' update file ' to your download list, stop the download by deleting the update file. Let the other file download and install.
- From reading up I was told to download the 1.04 update and delete then reinstall GTA V back on to my harddrive. I have been trying to reinstall it back onto my harddrive but it stays at 0% for the whole time I leave it on until i give up and play another game.
- Mar 22, 2017 - So here is the problem i am trying to download Mass Effect for past 3 days but the download keep stucking at 99+ hrs it starts fast then after say 10 mins. Notice it was again stuck at 99+hrs not even a 1GB was downloaded.
- If the download speed is 8 mbps, one can theoretically download with 1 mb/s, that however depends on the server you are downloading from, your isp's limitatios, etc. Jamejame Member Since.

PS4 99+ Hours Downloading Solution
Don't really know if this is the place for this kind of post, but I figured out a solution to the stuck at 10% download preparation and 99+ hours download time.
Basic rundown of what was happening to us:
Our download and update for Battlefront was taking a very long time (7+ hrs) so my brother tried to change our Network settings, specifically the DNS (Domain Name Server). After that it shot up to 99+ hours and would sometimes get stuck at a 10% preparation for download when we retried it.
Here's what we did:
Deleted the download content of the game with 99+ hours remaining (by going to the game in the main PS4 menu and pressing the 'option' button while over the game to bring up a smaller side menu and then 'delete'. You can also delete it by going up on the d-pad and to 'Notifications' then find the 'Downloads' tab and delete the game that was downloading).
Restarted our Wi-fi by unplugging it from its power supply.
Plugged it back in after about a minute.
Went to the 'Network' tab under settings and then 'Set up Connection'
Selected the custom setup. I used our home wifi (once it came back up). Later I'll post a exactly what we did, but put in all the info for custom setup as normal, except for DNS. We used the OpenDNS addresses.
Ps4 Download Stuck At 10 Hours
OpenDNS:
Primary 208.67.222.222 Secondary 208.67.220.220
6. This step may be optional, I'm not sure. The main game we were having the 99+ hrs with was Battlefront. We also needed to download another game, so we put the other game in and tried downloading it and it worked like a charm. Then we paused that download (by going into the 'Notifications' and the 'Downloads' menu) and put Battlefront in. It started downloading almost immediately.
We started at 7 hours, went up to 99 hours, and the unbelievable thing is that, using this process, the download time was cut down to just 3 hours.
Hope this helps some of you guys out there. It may be a bit complicated of a process but it worked beautifully.
If there is a better place to post this on reddit, someone please let me know. I apologize if I am not in the right sub for this.
I suggest that anyone having trouble with this issue research Domain Name Servers a little bit to gain a better understanding of what they do and how they function. It could help you with your problem.
Thanks all! Hope this helps!
