Odd, either way the fix is not only for the download speed its also to prevent the launcher to suddenly stop the download and you hit 0 KB/s out of the sudden and then it goes back to like half of your speed and such. Let me know if the download is more stable compared to running "steam.exe" at stock settings.
Unfortunately download speeds are affected by a bunch of factors. The speed test is doing a very simple download from what is probably a very reliable server connection. Whereas steam downloads might be coming from servers with high ongoing traffic. In other words, speed is also affected by who the source server is. That's the first factor.
So instead of you assuming Steam should reserve 1Gbit/s speed only to you alone, you're sharing the Bandwidth to your area with hundreds of maybe thousands of other Steam players in your download region (which you can change, sometimes help, other times hurt the speed).
Also, I try to connect to a Dayz server, 1 mod is out of date (server has newer version); download the mod update. Get "can't compile error" nothing fixes it so have to validate and it's checking 318.4GB of data now.
The downloads depend on your internet connection, the option in the task manager just puts Steam as a higher priority over other programs so that it can use more system resources. If you believe you have a faster internet connection, go to Steam>settings>Downloads + cloud and choose a higher internet connection option in the first drop down box.
Download managers will not increase speed in case of uploadhaven. They throttle the download speeds to make you buy their premium. Check out r/PiratedGames Megathread (1st pinned post) for a list of safe sites to download ( both torrent and DDL).
thanks that made more sense, I just got my pc a couple of months ago and wanted to see if i could download a 44 GB game overnight. #6 Showing 1 - 6 of 6 comments
Steam downloads at a rate that is so painfully slow compared to anything else I use, and I'm not sure why. To download a game that is 35MB takes over 4 hours at times on steam which is absurd considering when I'm on Battle.net or uplay I can download a 60+MB game in under an hour. I am using the steam server that is only 60 miles away from my ...
I went in the steam settings, and there is no cap at the max download speed. In task manager, my receive speed for Wi-Fi is above 20mb/s 95% of the time, normally hanging around 27mb/s. I'm in the basement, my Wi-Fi is kind of slow in general, I use a plug-in adapter and have the correct drivers for it, but I still get terrible download speeds.
Lots of factors really, depending on your location and the location of steam servers, the load on steam servers at the time. the load on your ISP at the time, the equipment you use. Are you using a wireless connection if so what speed is your router able to provide? is your wifi card able to match those speed? is there wifi interference?
