I have a connection speed of 900.868 Mbps on that site. On Fast.com it's around 440 Mbps, and on speedcheck.org it's 301.78 Mbps. Most other clients download quickly except Steam, which is slow—often under 300 kbps—and sometimes takes days to finish certain games with high disk usage (84.7 kb). The SSD seems fine. I usually get fast downloads after unpacking large torrents. I've changed regions, updated drivers, restarted the modem/router, disabled firewall and antivirus, but still can't figure it out.
I faced an issue with GoG where the downloads failed multiple times. I reduced the settings to "light" and then everything improved significantly. It might be related to the amount of bandwidth being used.
No one nearby has experienced the same issue—steam isn't slowing them down. I downloaded the game right after buying it and in under two hours. I also got it from GOG quickly. My internet seems to be throttling Steam, but it's been this way for a while now.
Additional tasks underway leveraging your network link. Eliminate any interference and assess the results.
This feature appears in the Twitch app and the Blizzard downloader. Since I don’t use Steam, it makes sense there could be this option available.
My internet consumption is currently at zero. I removed unnecessary applications and disabled speed limits in Steam settings. I verified that my Xfinity plan has 1024GB remaining out of a monthly 1024GB allowance (June 1 to June 30). For this plan, I’m unsure if another device is experiencing the same problem—only one is connected. I also forwarded all ports to the Steam download servers on my modem/router.
It suggests something specific on your rig. The idea of steam doing its thing might be the key. Let's see what makes your setup unique compared to others. My initial thought is background applications.
Regarding the apps, the only active processes are Windows services, NVIDIA Firefox, Steam, and Service Host. I've been struggling with this issue for a while, and it doesn't appear to fix itself.
