Took me all night to download (Destiny)

I'd love for it to update in the background like everything else.

The best advice is that when an update for Destiny goes live, you should go to the Playstation website, and set the PS4 to start downloading anything (free demo, theme, avatar picture, whatever). It should trigger it to start downloading Destiny updates.

Good to know for next time. Sadly it wouldn't have helped at the 111kbps I was getting (over wired ethernet). The only way I was able to finally get it working at a decent rate was to restart the ps4.

Another piece of advice whenever a download gets slow, go to the Settings -> Network Settings -> Test internet connection.

Do that, and it'll refresh the download speed.

You better believe I did that. That's how I knew what speed my ps4 was getting. I sometimes find myself needing to do that when I wake my console and am at the destiny main screen in order to get destiny to recognize it's connected to the internet.
