made a tool that streams downloads straight to your PS5 — no more download-then-FTP, and it isn't FPKG-only
update: v2.8.1 is out — windows hotfix. the windows build had a crash on launch (it wouldn't even start), that's fixed now. if you grabbed the windows zip earlier, re-download it from the releases page: https://github.com/ChillQuant/direct-stream-ps5/releases/tag/v2.8.1
so i got sick of the usual routine. want a 90gb dump, mac has 30gb free, ps5 has 500gb free. download it where? then ftp the whole thing a second time? and the streaming tools i found only do fpkg installs anyway.
so i built direct stream for ps5. you paste a http link and it streams straight into the ps5's ftp storage. nothing lands on your computer. pc disk space just stops mattering. works with any file, not just pkg — i made it for my own ffpfsc dumps.
what it does:
- parallel downloads (up to 32 streams), auto benchmark to tune it for your network
- resumes if your connection drops, verifies the file before it finishes
- web dashboard in your browser, file browser for the console, speed diagnostics
- everything stays on your local network, no accounts or cloud anything
you need a jailbroken ps5 with an ftp payload running. put in your ps5's ip, hit test connection, paste link, start. that's it.
free, open source (mit). python, no dependencies to install. mac and windows builds in the releases.
honest note: it's fast on my setup but i can't promise numbers for yours — there's a built-in benchmark, run it and it'll pick the best settings for your network.

happy to answer questions / take bug reports. built this for myself on 12.4 with kstuff-lite + shadowmount, figured other people have the same problem.
