Steam Download

[Qasem_Soleimani]

Hey, i've been trying to download some games like R6, Assetto corsa, GTA, and many more
but the download always stop after running for like 5 minutes and i couldn't stop the download...
everytime it stopped i have to open a game so that it will forced to stop and then i can start downloading again...
i have tried clearing download cache, restarting my PC, closing all aplication except steam, logging out of my Kasperksy (anti virus). NOTHING WORKS.

When yo ustart a game, the downloader will often stop, usure why, it used to do it to me a lot, but just don't start a game while downloading, take a lunch break instead.

I want to stop the download, but somehow i couldn't. So that's why i open a game to force stop it.

there is a setting in the dowload manager screen.
Steam/Settings/Downloads

Doods, go into your settings and enable under [Downloads] "Allow downloads during gameplay"

You should also look through your [Downloads] settings and see if anything doesn't look too good. Otherwise check your internet provider.

If you need to know where the setting for downloads ar just follow this
-Go to top left corner and click or hover over Steam
-Click settings on the dropdown
-Find Downloads on the left list
-gg, you found it.

From what I have seen the issue is when you are connecting to the game servers it is over saturating the router.
Try limiting your broadband by going to Steam > Settings > Downloads (tab) > and limit it .
Automatic settings are based on your internet speeds
