PS4 install times?

I just bought GTA 5 on the Playstation store and the install is impossibly slow. I'm talking 5% in an hour maybe. Is there anything I can do to speed this up? The download wasn't this slow.

i don't think there's anything you can do. it's a massive game and it just takes a while to install. or are you talking about downloading it digitally?
5% an hour doesn't sound right though

Has to be this.

Right, it's a digital download.

Get better internet and if you have shitty Internet don't buy it digitally ..... Took me maybe 45 minutes to download gta digitally

That does seem ridiculously slow. I bought it on disc and I want to say the entire install took about 45 minutes or so. It sort of does 2 installs. One install where it loads data off the disc while you are in the PS4 main menu. And then when you run the game for the first time it does more installing while it cycles through GTA images and there is a percentage in the bottom right.

so you're downloading it not installing it. yea if your internet is weak then it will take a while to download 50 gigs or whatever it is
is your ps4 hard wired to the internet?

No the download already finished, it's the install that has been taking forever. I'm on the apartment complex's wifi and it's never really been this bad.

Took me 20 minutes on my college's internet which is about average I'd say
Posted on 12/5/14 at 5:19 pm to TooFyeToFly
i just don't think the install has anything to do with the internet, could totally be wrong. someone correct me if I am

you could replace the hard rive with an SSD?

It took about 5 hours and some change to install Grand Theft Auto V
That was the digital copy.

So you think its a console problem?
Would rest mode speed up the install?

No idea if it is a console problem. I bought the disc version and it took about 35 minutes to I stall for me
Looks like tactical said his took 5 hours which seems ridiculous. That sounds like the install and download time to me. IBe only bought a couple of games digitally (arse creed 4 and killzone) and they took no where near that long to install. What are you sitting at now?

16% after probably four hours. No download has ever been this slow.
Posted on 12/5/14 at 7:16 pm to TooFyeToFly
Just got my bundle in and from the disc it's been installing 35 mins and its at 60%

Im thinking about shutting it down and redownloading but I don't want to lose my 20 percent which took all night.

All of my downloads and installs have been extremely quick on the PS4 but whatever the issue you're having is seems to be GTA related, it took a very long time to download and equally as long to install.
Not sure what the problem is but Ive seen this complained about over various places online where its rare to hear anything like this with other games.

I redownloaded the file last night which took about an hour. Then i started the install and left it on throughout the night. Its been about 11 hours and its on 78% percent. Even though that's slow, it's much faster than it was yesterday.
