@Chagru - Nope it is not working with the newer update :(

 

Have you tried with PSN DM? My friend told me it worked for him, He transferred Walking Dead episode one. Maybe he downloaded from server only and didn't notice that coz episode 1 size is very small. I didn't check as don't have any game to transfer. Anyway don't need proxy anymore, Net is superfast and no problem of power cut -_-

 

@Sagar :console:

 

Don't know why sony did that. All these years it worked well for everyone and there wasn't any exploit to transfer games that you have not purchased. Maybe they will release some new software in May.

The background downloads also won't work anymore. Every-time you resume a download from the download list, it appends a string pattern of a ip address and other things. the ip address is different every-time. So essentially the download URL is unique every-time. So the proxy program can't route the URL to your downloaded files.

The IP address in the URL's appear to do a round-robin between the following network ranges:
58.26.1.x
58.26.185.x
58.27.22.x
58.27.86.x
165.165.47.x
178.79.195.x
(and the list goes on...)

This is where it becomes tricky to use the downloads with PS3 Proxy. But not impossible.
Instead of adding 1 static URL you need to add a blanket of URL's (with different IP's in the "serverIpAddr=x.x.x.x" section) pointing to the same package file to ensure that at least one of them matches when your PS3 initiates the download.

In order to get PS3 Proxy to match the download URL (or give it a higher match rate) the following needs to be done, preferably with a clean PS3 Proxy log (and assuming that you already have the package file cached locally):
1. Choose whatever you want to download from your downloads list under Account Settings, and opt to download it in the background
2. Go to Download Management and pause the download
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Resume the download for a few seconds and then pause it again
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 a few times (depending on how many different IP's you want to add)
6. Save the log in PS3 Proxy to a file
7. Select the "Replace Files" tab on PS3 Proxy
8. Enter a description with a sequence number (1,2,3,4,...) at the end to make it unique, add the applicable URL from the exported log file, and choose the same package file that you want to install for all of the URLs.
For example:

Code:
Description: Mass Effect 2 DLC 1
URL: http://zeus.dl.playstation.net/cdn/EP0006/BLES01133_00/hRoZEY...527db57&serverIpAddr=165.165.47.8&downloadType=bg
Local file: C:\PS3\Package Files\Mass Effect 2\hRoZEYXaTGYkUFdgyvqiGayjUZkIKSnWnZKjahqLfchTPVlCMDjAfFIUqGxRsejc.pkg

Description: Mass Effect 2 DLC 2
URL: http://zeus.dl.playstation.net/cdn/EP0006/BLES01133_00/hRoZEY...527db57&serverIpAddr=58.27.22.153&downloadType=bg
Local file: C:\PS3\Package Files\Mass Effect 2\hRoZEYXaTGYkUFdgyvqiGayjUZkIKSnWnZKjahqLfchTPVlCMDjAfFIUqGxRsejc.pkg

Description: Mass Effect 2 DLC 3
URL: http://zeus.dl.playstation.net/cdn/EP0006/BLES01133_00/hRoZEY...527db57&serverIpAddr=58.27.22.154&downloadType=bg
Local file: C:\PS3\Package Files\Mass Effect 2\hRoZEYXaTGYkUFdgyvqiGayjUZkIKSnWnZKjahqLfchTPVlCMDjAfFIUqGxRsejc.pkg

Description: Mass Effect 2 DLC 4
URL: http://zeus.dl.playstation.net/cdn/EP0006/BLES01133_00/hRoZEY...527db57&serverIpAddr=58.26.185.27&downloadType=bg
Local file: C:\PS3\Package Files\Mass Effect 2\hRoZEYXaTGYkUFdgyvqiGayjUZkIKSnWnZKjahqLfchTPVlCMDjAfFIUqGxRsejc.pkg
9. Resume the download on your PS3 and watch the completion percentage for a few seconds
10. If the download resumes from where it stopped previously then pause the download again and repeat step 9 - as it is resuming the download from the Internet package server
11. Once the download manager resets the percentage and starts from 0% then it is an indication that it is downloading from local cache, and not the Internet. (but double check in any case to make sure)

The more IP's you add to the "Replace Files" list the higher the chance of PS3 Proxy finding a match when you pause/resume the download on the PS3.

Alternatively you can copy/paste the <PSNItem>...</PSNItem> sections within the PS3Prox.xml file instead of using the application's user interface, and then change the descriptions and the IP's in the URLs accordingly - depending on which method you are most comfortable with.

On a side note:
I have built a prototype AutoIT script that generates an XML file in the same format as mentioned in the code section, but the IP's in the URLs go from 2-254 in each network segment.
However, the downside of this method is a meaty XML file which renders the "Replace Files" tab in the user interface unusable as the program becomes unresponsive when it reads a few thousand entries to populate the table with. (8 network segments equates to about 2024 entries for 1 package file)
And due to the size of the XML file it would only be feasible for one package download at a time.
But it does appear to work, and does not seem to impact the performance of the proxy application otherwise.

Guys use PSN Download Manager instead of PS3 proxy server GUI. Works without any issues. (I haven't tried but my friend uses it and he yesterday transferred Okami HD in 30 mins)

 

In PSN DM you don't have to link files and all. It automatically downloads the file on your PC and when completed it automatically transfers the file to the PS3 when you start the download from Store. You also don't need IDM to download the pkg files. Read some tutorial on how to use PSN DM. Process is even simpler than Proxy server gui.

What if we are able to block the internet for the proxy using some kind of firewall for the Proxy Server as then PS3 won't be able to connect to the internet. I think i remember then getting a static URL?

 

What say guys? I will be able to experiment after tomorrow.

What ?!! Firewall has nothing to do with this issue. The problem is that the Donwload URL's change, simple. To make it work the URL you enter at the time of transfer should match the current download URL. All URL's point to that same pkg file but if it does not match then PS3 will download from the server instead of your PC.

 

Read what filmguy has posted. That method might work. Or just try PSN DM.

 

@Rosh, Google it man. You will get it easily. Also try transferring some small games. Don't blame me later if it dosen't work as I haven't tried myself :P But still I am 90% sure that it works.
