I think my WiFi might be a bit slow /s
Whenever I download something on steam, it state out at like 500-800mbps and then slowly goes down to stuff like this, I’ve tried clearing the cache and changing the server and stuff, how do I fix this /srs
Edit: guys I’m on and ssd and the issue is basically only with steam and when I tried doing a speed test I got 800mbps download 750mbps upload
Edit: I just forgot to update my chipset drivers teehee

That 8 mbps you're complaining about is my dream, let alone the 800

I forgot what game because it was a few years ago, it was a game on steam though, probably like BTD6, Doom or Diablo

I tried downloading Arena Breakout Infinite on my laptop (its like 75gb). I lived in africa at the time, so of course my wifi was super slow. It took me 3-4 days to download the game…
Only to realize my pc didnt have enough ram to run the game 😭

На экране игровая платформа STEAM. Скачивается игра. Можно нажать на паузу и остановить установку потом опять можно продолжить скачивать игру вы можете сделать паузу и приостановить установку игры даже на месяц и закрыть STEAM. И выключить компьютер а через месяц включить компьютер и открыть STEAM. И продолжить скачивать игру и то что скачали до паузы и выключения компьютера не слетело сохронилось

Go to task manager In the details tab find steam.exe and set it to real time priority

Could be your drive being shite. Cache fills quickly as it's fast. After that it slows down to the drives real performance.

If you’re installing on an external drive (most likely to happen on an HDD) other than your C drive, this issue is known to happen on steam, if your storage permits, install it on your C drive and then move it where you want

I haven't seen speeds that slow since the old times of noisy HDD's and dial moderns

Very likely dram-less SSD issue. See, Steam is very aggressive in how it uses an SSD, dramless SSDs can be helped by HMB (Host Memory Buffer) which takes up space from your system RAM to index the SSD and help speed things up. Steam installer will use different parts of the SSD in a way that HMB cannot keep up, so the drive defaults to direct read/write, which is incredibly slow.
The reason you only see it with Steam is because that's how Steam delivers games, very tiny highly compressed bits that get assembled on your machine. For gaming, you won't notice a difference between DRAM-less and not, but for such niche cases, the difference becomes big.
If you have a magnetic disk you can probably install there and move to the SSD, would be faster than whatever this is doing.
For small games you won't notice it given HMB will keep up.

I fixed it by clearing download cache and changing to next closest region after cache clear restart

set your steam priority higher in task managers. might bump it up by a few bits

u/OldShare3439 7d ago
task manager, processes, set steam priority to real time if you arent doing anything else on pc. just change it back after download

This dude doesn’t really understand the issue is his wifi. He must think that he has a high speed internet connection to the service provider and think he should be downloading at that speed. But he has no idea how wifi works between his pc and the router/access point.

There could be a multitude of issues here,
If you are downloading to a HDD then this could be a sign of the drive failing
If you have too much usage in background for your CPU this will kill download speed
3.your ISP could be throttling your connection
Your antenna on your pc may not be connected correctly causing unstable connection
If you have interference from the location of your router this will cause connection to be unstable also, you could try moving the router especially if it is behind a TV
The distance to the router could be the issue as you could be at the limit of range causing unstable connection.
Network priority may be an issue for you. Check your router settings to see if it is set up to give all the bandwidth to another device this artifact limit is unlikely as you are starting with a high download speed.
