changing my region actually did help me, was kind of surprised. thanks
No steam has done something within the last year or so. Now games take forever to download regardless of what settings you have on.
Bro when i installed the game on steam i will got it in the desc top?
From a download speed of 0 to 55MB/s from changing region. Thank you!

I got a brand new pc yesterday and when im downloading fortnite the download speed is average 120kb/s and sometimes drops to 0kb/s i have a quite good internet so what should i do?
Im getting very fluctuating download speeds, anywere from 0 - 183 mbps, im plugged directly into the router, is there anyway i can fix this, ive tried what was shown in the video, and it had no effect
i lave an cat 6 lan cable an 20/mbs internet and it keeps liminting my downloat speed to 2mbs for some reson
My problem is that on initial download i go up to my usual speed but then over the next few seconds i see a massive dip and i hold at about 5/10% of my actual download speed. sometimes it even just stops downloading for a few seconds. I dont get this with other Apps such as Epic or GOG

Bro google exists for a reason. But you could also just try it out and see whoch region is faster, cause sometimes the closest region isnt the fastest when msybe theres too mich people using tje closest region and youre better off picking a region that further away but with less traffic
How too fix a game when you moving your character it buffer or lags when movement
Okay that changing region thingy actually worked. How freakikg counter intuitive is that huh. Thanks a bunch kind sir!

I just tried this & when I quit the app had to restart then start again. I’ve started from the beginning it took me 23hours to do 23GB download and it’s completely reset it 😮😢

how can i boost my download speed in a usb3.0????
I pay for 1000/1000 Mbps internet, which is also confirmed on Speedtests. However, when i download on steam, it stays on around 15 Mbps. I am not limiting the steam downloader in any way, and I also changed the download region a few times, but with no luck. Any tips?

Thanks Man. from 440kb/s to 10mb/s amazing
why does my steam options screen look much different
I have 320Mbps internet speed, so 40MBps, in steam it says that I am downloading at 7.8MBps, but in reality it’s downloading at 0.9MBps…. It takes around 18-20 min to download 1gb what should I do help
yes none of this works. any other options? because this is the only so called solution everyone is giving me. i have a 1Gbps connection downloading doom 2016 now with 1bytes per second. peak download speed is 60MBps. that speed i got for about 4 minutes. and now i have a 0 bytes download speed. so if there is any other solution let me know
I’m having an issue where my pc is just randomly staying at 50 to 200 KBS which is terrible considering I usually get 90 mbs how did it just start doing this bad
i've done all of this and my done all of this and my download speeds are still dipping down to kb/s to MAYBE 9MB/s if im lucky and that doesn't last very long

Its steam thats the entire issue if you download a 15 gig off steam 11 hours off epic games 20 maybe 30 minutes
Steam is using most of my MBits but the other mbits are just nto being used at all
None of those worked for me. Years ago I was downloading on steam with 15-20mb/s, got through some internet speed upgrades over time and it very rarely reaches 30, often dropping below 15. Meanwhile downloading on Origin I never go below 60mb/s while staying at around 80mb/s rather consistently.

yeah thanks Steam, i live in germany and just tried every location in Germany and even in belgium but slow downloads. tested now a completly diffr country (USA) and its actually now reaching 40MB/s instead of only 1.3 amazing
This man said “multiple different” methods 😂
My problem is that after Steam changed the GUI of the downloads it takes a lot more time than it used to and I do mean with exactly the same download speed. Why does it say that download is 500MB, and when you start it it says that it is 20GB and then another number next to that which is even higher... I wanted to update a game with that 500MB update now earlier and it said that it would take 45 *_MINUTES_* to complete, like what the... I got a 50/50Mbit connection and nothing wrong with the internet today, and it did show full speed on the download. That's why I'm just frustrated with it all because game updates and downloads worked fine for years on end, until they started with this shit. As it is right now I got no clue of what the size of any update actually is, nor why it takes so god #¤%#¤ long. I also tried to paused it half way and when I wanted to start it again, it started from the beginning so a new 45 minute timer. Happened another time as well so no more Steam today because I've had it...

Download speed pending from 350kB/s to 30MB/s. Mean while doing a speedtest I have 915 Mbps down and 934 Mbps up. Why would Steam do this?

Didn't do anything, i got 40mbps Internet with steam capping at 6mbps for some reason
1.5 - 1.9mbps I'm happy it's better than 30kbps thank you.

switching region or a city on steam only work for like 10 secs then it goes to zero again, like any other app i downloading at 60-70 mb/s
There is a Win 10 & 11 bug that limits download and upload. This is what worked for me. I spent hours researching what to do, and just copy and paste this in command prompt one line at a time, and it WILL fix it if you had the same windows bug that I had. (You might have to enter it again after a couple updates. Apparently windows still doesn’t realize it yet…) NETWORK FIX Win 10 & 11 ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /renew and press Enter.

I went from 6MB/s back to 50MB/s.
None seemed to work, don't know why my Download goes from a 12m download to 8 hours.
One issue causing this is that you might be downloading games on a Hard-Disk Drive. The only way to fix this is move a game to a Solid-State Drive (if you have one).

I have been struggling with this issue on a high end PC for a while and have tried everything. I tried what you suggested but it didn't seem to help. But as a suggestion for others where this doesn't help I found something which does improve things: Instead of making sure the "Limit bandwidth to..." is unset, I actually set it to a lowish value which it then managed to maintain. You need to find a sweet-spot which then works consistently - I put it down to 7500 KB/s and it sticks to it and doesn't slow the PC down. Still amazes me as to what causes this issue where by my second "old" gaming PC can download at 40M/s without any problems or slowdown what so ever!!
