This is a simple cURL-based tool for downloading official Sony Playstation 4 & 5 game updates. It is available for GNU/Linux, Windows (64bit), and jailbroken PS5s. Game updates that are plit across multiple files are merged automatically during download. If you are behind a firewall, you can download updates via a proxy server, which is convenient when running on a jailbroken PS5 that are shielded of from the internet.
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/fetchpkg$ ./fetchpkg [-p PROXY] [-o PATH] URL where URL is the address to a JSON-formatted manifest, e.g., the PS4 title Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (v1.09).
To run fetchpkg on the PS5, you need to load it with an ELF loader that provides a command line interface, e.g., shsrv, and the means to transfer the ELF to the ps5, e.g., ftpsrv. The following commands will upload the ELF file to /data, connect to shsrv, and download a pkg file to /mnt/usb0 via a proxy server:
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/fetchpkg$ curl -T fetchpkg.elf ftp://ps5:2121/data/fetchpkg.elf
john@localhost:ps5-payload-dev/fetchpkg$ telnet ps5 2323
