Download Speed Drops To 0 Steam

[Angeles Bartholomew]

Yeah, the ol' reboot method of fixing things. Unplug the router and modem (if you have separate ones), leave them unplugged for 10-15 seconds, then plug them back in. Wait a few minutes before trying again and then see if it works. Do you have decreased download speeds watching YouTube or Netflix as well? Or is it just Steam/Origin? If you are watching a YouTube video, set it to the highest quality setting (1080p or 4K even) and right click on the video and select 'Stats For Nerds.' It should show you your download rate. If that's normal and Origin/Steam are still slow, it's probably your ISP. You said you had just reinstalled Windows? Are you downloading a bunch of other stuff too? By chance do you have Star Citizen, and are you updating that? The Star Citizen updater seems to ignore the download limit that you can set and will completely saturate your connection.

Are you downloading anything else at the same time? Watching YouTube/Twitch/Netflix? Are there other people on your home network doing interwebs stuff? As others said, it's probably your ISP, but I wouldn't rule out something else hogging the bandwidth at your house. But I also wouldn't be surprised if the reported speeds aren't exactly accurate. Check my peak download speed for this update:

Was your Steam game downloading at a healthy rate, but the speed suddenly dropped to zero? If that's true, the most obvious reasons could be that either your device is no longer connected to the internet or the connection has become unstable.

If the connection is live and stable, the download speed may have been slowed down due to interference from the download cache, insufficient storage on the destination drive, restrictions from the Microsoft Defender Firewall, or misconfigured Steam settings.

After ensuring your device has an active internet connection, check how stable the connection is. An easy way to check your internet stability is to run an internet speed test five times after a short gap and compare the results. So, run the speed test five times and note the speed you get during each run.

If the internet connection speed remains somewhat similar during all tests, the connection is stable. In contrast, if you get a high rate in some tests but super slow in others, your connection isn't stable. So, either fix your internet stability issues or switch to a wired LAN connection to restore Steam's download speed.

Problem:

Multiple users around the world in different countries have incredible low download speeds, f.e. ISP Connection 120mbit, but MSFS2020 is downloading only with 1 to 20 mbit/s. The problem is there since release and is touching not only the download for the whole game or major updates, but also the ingame download through the marketplace.

Multiple users are reporting that at the same time, online speedtest and f.e Steam downloads have no problem and are giving the full download speed bandwith, so that it appears that its not a individual connection problem. Often the only thing which helps them is using a VPN and trying out different servers, sometimes even in the same country as they are located.

I managed to download the whole installation in about 2 hours with the max speed shown on some of the larger files at over 250MBps.

Subsequent updates all downloaded very quickly and in line with my expectations of a 300MBps connection.

The only thing which helps me is using a free VPN.

So for anyone who tried every step and is still suffering from download speeds like it is 2001 and doesnt want to pay for a VPN or give credit card informations:

The VPN connection also goes through your 2 routers, so its highly unlikely that its the 2 routers fault. Also basically everyone has slow download speed for msfs2020, the fault is on Asobo/Microsofts side.

Apart form the fact that I was getting good download speeds, then for a few months bad download speeds (maybe I messed up some settings) but now after making some adjustments to my network card settings and windows settings I am reliably getting close to my 300Mbps that my ISP provides.

GW2's download speed can be misleading since it's not actually displaying your raw download speed and it will occasionally drop into a low KB/s range when dealing with large batches of smaller files. That said, if it's never going above 2MB/s, there's either something wrong, or your disk or CPU is struggling.

Was downloading yesterday with slow speed. VPNing to USA, disabling qos and adding text to the shortcut didnt help. Decided to leave it overnight. Once I closed most other programs(vpn, steam, ea app, gog, skype, telegram, discord, chrome) the speed went to its proper values and the download went smoothly afterwards.

Can someone please put this in laymans terms?

I'm having the same issue the download is taking forever, multiple client restarts hasn't affected the download speed and I don't fully understand all of the above solutions.

Ok nevermind I worked it out, I didn't add the space before pasting it after the target line.

It has increased the speed but is only 600kb/s... Far from the speeds my 1 gig connection should be achieving.

I have been suffering from this for a couple of years. Start the download and it gets up to 80 or 90 MB/s for a bit and slows right down to 0. Pause download and restart and it runs for a minute if you are lucky and stops again. My internet connection is solid. 1.5 gbps connection with no latency or packet loss. The fix was that I had to limit my download speed at 50 mb/s. I can download well faster that that but the origin client can't seem to handle it. I have no problem with Epic Games or Steam as they will plow through at full speed until done. Anyhow. I have tested throttling the download speed in Origin on 2 computers with success. The weirdest part is that my second computer is using wifi and can only get around 20MBps full speed and I had to limit that computer to 10MBps. The client is weird. I hope this can help someone else

No. It's not slow speeds. It's full speed and then a steady drop to 0. It stays on 0 until you pause it and start again. You have to keep doing this process about 50 more times to finish your install as it keeps stalling. I don't think you fully understand the situation and are so determined that it's one issue that you won't consider it could be something different.

I have been having exactly the same problem! I too am on a MBP with over 250GB free (started with over 400GB) last night. I am on a cable network with d/l consistently over 115mbps and with the dropbox icon showing 9627KB/sec, 27 mins left (it said only 1 hour left 6 hours ago), and yet this has been downloading for more than 12 hours now! I realize my download is much larger, but even so, there is no reason that anyone's downloads should take 12 hours with speeds such as these! Dropbox is throttling us even though we subscribe to DBPro! Uploading to DB doesn't even take a quarter of the time it does to download!
