The very short explanation is that closing all games and applications seems to work. Juho Snellman, a systems programmer in Zurich, Switzerland, cautions that there may be other reasons for a slow download that are specific to a user's network or internet service provider.
This is a great circular firing squad where Sony could blame your cable company which can blame your router and back and then no one ever has to be responsible. But Snellman says he observed a jaw droppingly small "receive window" when anything was running in the background on the PS4. Snellman says he ran two tests, the first with the download running in the foreground but a Netflix application running in the background. When the Netflix app closed, the receive window increased significantly. So Snellman began a second test that introduced all kinds of different background functions to see what would happen.
In one, the game Styx: Shards of Darkness idled in its title screen. That shrank the receive window to 7 KB. Snellman stresses this the artificial limit "appears to only apply to PSN downloads" — i.
And, notably, running the console's built-in speed test will not reveal the reduced download capacity. For me, this is one of the most maddening things, to see a download is taking forever, to check what is wrong with my network connection and be told everything is A-OK. A receive window of 7 KB "is an incredibly low value; it's basically going to cause the downloads to take times longer than they should," Snellman explains.
Running an app such as Netflix or Spotify narrowed the receive window to KB, which is still "a 5x reduction in potential download speed," and playing an online match in a networked game closed it down to the 7 KB threshold. Putting the PlayStation 4 into its rest mode "had no effect," he writes.
