If you having trouble downloading teh big Update of 15gb try setting your DNS settings yourself from within Settings / Network.
I used DNS 1 = 198.153.194.50 DNS 2 = 198.153.192.50 This will connect you to the Nortons DNS database, my download speed has gone from 99+ hours to 105 mins.
There are other DNS options you can put it also, just google them and try which 1 suits you.

Kexlar✭You could try these on this website it is were I had mine from :
http://www.thegeekyglobe.com/top-5-free-public-dns-servers.html
Hope 1 of these help.
BTW guys, when setting up your connection Manually only change the DNS settings leave everything else as it is.Edited by Kexlar on June 24, 2015 6:19PM1 -
Yeah tried a few DNS now, just making it even slower unfortunately:(
48 hours downloaded the whole game and patch in less than 5 this Monday just gone.

Can anyone explain why this increases download speed? I switched to openDNS on my 100 mbps fiber connection and went from 5 hours to 65 minutes. It definitely works. I just don't understand why it works.0

It works because a lot of players will be using the same DNS settings, so clogging up the system, if you switch DNS settings until your speed is faster downloading then you have hit a low population DNS. ( thats what I read anyway )1 -

Try again and keep pausing and unpausiing till you get a result it'll work . Telling me 72 mins now down from 99 hours after changing DNS maybe even manage a dungeon when I'm back home later if the speed holds. I used Google's dns 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 enjoyEdited by Junglejim82 on June 24, 2015 6:39PMJungleim

aajaxSoul ShrivenTo find out fastest DNS for YOU! You can try this: https://code.google.com/p/namebench/
It doesn't make that much send posting various DNS servers cos the fastest one might be different for everyone.
Mine test has been running for some minutes, then I will switch to the fastest DNS. The Google one is faster than 'automatic' for me, but not that much.0 -

WoooWhooo down to 73mins! thank you sir!If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.0 -
aajaxSoul ShrivenOh btw chaning MTU to 1473 magically helps even more (together with the DNS change). Mine says 30 mins to go now. Was 27 hours originally with default settings.
Can someone explain the MTU thing?

orlan✭ok got it flying now 9150.48 KB/s changed the DNS to the google ones but my MTU was already set to 1473 when i changed some months back, had to pause the download acouple of times to get it working better, oh and i restarted my PS4 just to see if that made any difference, with the google dns as the network settings.0

aajaxSoul ShrivenYeah, sometimes you must pause and resume the download
download to make it go high speed again. Silly...0 -
orlan✭ok all done at last, what a nightmare that was, a lot of pause and slow downloads and pause again, got there in the end.0

OzJohnD✭✭✭✭Witcher 3 ?Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

zT_KiriyamaSoul ShrivenThank you Kexlar, aajax and darkerone.
I combined the advice from all three of you (used UK DNS settings and changed MTU to 1473) and got the download down from 66 hours to 5 hours.
That's still a painfully long time when I have a 74 mb connection but it's peak hours here so at least I can be relatively confident that leaving it downloading overnight will work...
....I hope!
Pretty ridiculous that we're having to mess about like this after forking out for a game though!!0 -
