Download speed issues, only with WE

[Gravemind]

Title basically sums it up.
For a couple weeks now my speed with WE has been borderline unusable. Wallpapers will download at maybe 1mb/s, and always stalls somewhere in the 90% area for like a whole minute before it goes "Oh right, I'm supposed to be downloading."

It's only with WE, everything else on Steam, and every other thing that uses internet on my machine is completely fine.

Ideas?

Yep, seeing the same thing for past couple of weeks as well. Every other thing downloads from Steam fine and normal be it game or workshop files....ONLY Wallpaper Engine is doing this.

Download starts out fine but around 80-90% done just stalls out at the slow speed or stops all together for around a minute or more before starting back up or finishing like you said "Oh yeah I am supposed to be doing this thing aren't I" .

Alright, so i got the same thing happening to me. After a long time i finally found something that fixed it. Idk if it will be the case for you but u can try it out.

Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type in the following 3 lines one by one:

- netsh winsock reset
- netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /flushdns

After that restart ur pc and see if it's fixed. Now of course before doing this make sure ur download settings are properly done. Meaning disable download speed "blocker" and clear ur cache. Also make sure ur in the right download region.

Wallpaper Engine doesn't download anything, it just shows the download progress from Steam. Due to the ongoing spring sale, the Steam servers might be unusually busy. You could try switching the Steam server region, usually that helps in these types of cases.

• In Steam, click on "Steam" in the upper left corner and select "Settings".
  
• Click on the "Downloads" tabs on the left.
  
• At the top, change the "Download region". I recommend picking a download region where it's currently the middle of the night. That way, you will connect to Steam servers which are less busy.

Same thing is happening to me. And only with Wallpaper Engine.
