5. Let Users Pause/Queue Downloads

While it’s celebrated with much zeal and fervour how Playstation+ subscribers get free games, downloading them can be worse than waiting for a zombie apocalypse. Especially if your bandwidth is not quite enough and you have multiple games on download. Instead of allowing users to manage downloads by letting users pause downloads, so that one task may be finished at a time, the PS4 initiates all downloads at the same time.

Quite obviously, this gobbles up precious bandwidth and doesn’t let you download anything on priority. So either you download things one by one, or you can start all your downloads together and watch them finish in as much time as Goku takes in defeating Frieza. Probably more. It’s mostly a problem with low bandwidth but its irksome otherwise too. It’d be good to see a patch coming our way sooner than later.
