Captainfluffy Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 For some odd reason steam has really been doing really bad with downloading games and updating My issue: i am downloading/updating any game. it just downloads at a decent rate for 1 second and just tanks down to 0 bytes, then starts up and goes go to like 500Kb/s it slowly goes down until steam decides these rates are to low and removes it from the download list and moves it in the que. my internet connection it self is completely fine 500Mb UP and 50Mb DOWN I have tried multiple things: Restarted steam, Changed Download region, Cleared download Cache, Repaired Library Folder.

Strange Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 One suggestion: don't have things like Chrome and other apps that require connection while you're downloading, it can slow down your download rate sometimes. I've even had it before where it wouldn't download if I even used my mobile at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes having a bad PC can take longer nope. got a decent pc which i have recently upgraded with a core i5 9600k and a decent Mobo to go with it, got a 1060 3GB + a very nice amount of storage, SSD For boot and steam and HDD's for games and video's. for some reason it seems to be mainly effecting payday 2 and a few other games rest seem to download at okay/normal rates i am currently figuring out why this is.
