download speeds are unacceptable

[devon9781]

i have a 2 gig internat connection and a 6000 $ gaming computer i`ve checked my mtu both on router and pc. i can speed test my internet while im downloading at steam and hit 560plus mb/sec yet in peak hours i cant get 6 mb/sec on steam downloads not to mention the larger more taxing games are not even playable due to lag. games freeze ect generally steam sucks s dont even ask about memory i have 64 gig of the fastest ram for sale. your servers are overloaded slow and pieces of crap. your entire I- T staff needs fired if this is their idea of acceptable i`m sick of you and being throttled by traffic volumes you just cant handle. get your ♥♥♥♥ together or let me transfer my games to someone that can run a server. im thinking its the dam least you could due as you waste my time money and piss me off to boot if i ping google in china i have a 21 ms ping to the other side of the world. Its not on my end ive tried 20 plus of your servers all around the world. i dont play and download at the same time [as i could not even if i tried] the servers all suck 8 am to 1:30 am the next morning you cant play a large graphic intense games on this service so called "platform" 8 to 10 hours to download 300 gig is just rediculus you suck. fix it or you will lose 4 more accounts for me the wife and kids even at 3:00 am i can only get 200 mb/s im not staying up untill 4
:00 am to play on you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ service. get you act together or go broke there are other services that don`t throttle you and can handle peak traffic tired of the lies , trying to say its on customer ends bullcrap it your sucky servers and not enough of them no more lame excuses fix it or shove it up your bum. your crap wastes my time crashes my pc occasionally and im fed up, one more thing i change servers and then you set me right back to Pitsburg if i restart or start a new game download which crashes my g.d computer every time if i dont catch it i dont want pittsburgs server i just reloaded my entire computer due to your crap pitsburg server. are you stupid i change it then you go behind me change it back pittsburgs server sinks, It crashes my pc stop changing my setting may be i should charge you for my time you wasted to fix what your crappy pittsburg server causes. Fire you it and get a few that know what they are doing.

the burden of youth is not realizing the old man forgot more then you will evr know ....

If the old man cannot remember anything what use is it that he once knew the information?

It also reads rather like hubris to decree oneself as having learned much, much more than anyone younger than them ever will.

This is literally just a you issue, there's a setting in all steam UI's that literally has download speeds and the ability to change it, if that does nothing then its 100% on your end. Just because you got a good PC does not mean your WiFi is good, if anything just having a good computer literally wont effect WiFi along side having a bad one.

If your literally getting getting 560 mb then thats just straight up 8 Megabytes a second, that aint Steam, that aint anything but just crap WiFi, 8 Megabytes a second aint fast ya, its rather damn impressively slow and if thats for the whole house then I imagine your only getting a bit of that speed anyways if anyone else is using WiFi they'd be using part of it to.

Like where the heck do you get your internet from???

is there a reason why
there isnt a steam speed testing program for this sort of query....

computers... diagnostics.. click a button... 2022... the future is still not here

How would it help the OP. Note the OP basically is complaining that the patching is slow. This is already displayed on the downloads tab as it is. The downloads tab also can't show you the part where your anti-virus is obliterating your disk performance causing patchign to slow down. All a speed test is goign to tell you is that "yes valve can obliterate yoru connection" which it already does IF your system can support it. But generally speaking unless you're downloading a game, from scratch, your download speed is not the primary bottleneck. Meaning the test doesn't actually tell you anything that helps this particular misconception.

why cant steam offer a system that says...
you are experiencing slow speeds because of x y and z

speed detection problems..

not saying either is wrong or right... but it should not be so hit and miss...

steam is giving your the power.... you aint got the power to receive it...

browsers can tell me i have a adblocker on everywhere i go...
and windows told me my computer was compatible for win 11

steam do have access to all your computer information already
- why cant they just make it really simple to problem solve...

all the responses here could be automated...

i seriously doubt your rigs even close i biult my first pc in the early 80~s I work it when i say 6k thats parts minus the gpu card and cpu as a few thousand each respectively on their own. now maybe 6 to 30 mbs is acceptable to you on peak business times and you sit in mamas basement so you have nothing better to do for 6 to 7 hours while a game downloads. The issue is not enough servers for traffic Now at 3:30 am i can hit 300 plus mb/s downloads on steam but i to work on my employers servers. i work 8 to 630 7 days a week and cant sit on my duff all night. until usage drops off btw thats steams posted rate you know listed in the down load folder at steam while you download. it is not my transference or estimate. ive tried la, columbus, toronto icelan greenland belgium s. africa brazil and several other servers some are slightly better but still stink. and as stated i can while in steam and down loading ping china google 21 ms response download speed test 460 mb/s my rig has 2 x m.2 s pci drives a amd threadripper 3975 x cpu and asus pro gaming mb 64 gig ddr5 and a sata ssd for back up only for a total of 11 tb disk usage never exceeds 18 percent and memory usage is never over 35 % cpu is under 25% my mtu is achieving 1500 units/sec no los no curruption win 10 pro 64 bit operating system fresh instal 2 days ago nothing in it except steam. i have verified all my files. my modem and eithernet card are both asus 2 gig setups and when the pc is alone on net it gets that np and then some. I have wiped and reloaded steam 3 times and evry game in it and all the games were wiped twice it is not corupted files i have cleared the download cache repeatedly its not my rig its not enough and crappy servers for to much traffic if you are ok with 35 mb/s fine more power to you. i`m not i cant waste 5-7 hours downloading a 300 gig game i need to work to pay the bills i left home 30 plus years ago no one pays my morgage. ok so now im open to ideas if anyones got a fix or hack. its four of our computers all showing the same crappy download rates not just this one.

What kind of dumbass spends 6k on non-workhorse computer parts and then says they "don't have time to waste" because you need to make money?

Buddy if you don't have time to download a game, then you don't have the time to be a PC gamer. PC gaming requires you to actually learn how your rig works. PC gaming will always occationally require fiddling and patience.

You should stick to console gaming. You clearly can't handle anything more complicated than plug and play. Or you "don't have the time".

Congratz. You wasted 6k.

[fluxtorrent]

Definitely a you issue, got just over 1.2Gb/s today and im only paying for a single gigabit

So either your isp is throttling steam downloads or you aren't as smart as you think you are and something is wrong with your machine

I'm starting to get the idea this guy has other issues, he's not able to comprehend some of the responses and then he has spewed a wall of text about his computer in the 80s and people in mama's basement and his mortgage....

You haven’t conflated megabits and megabytes, TBC?

This is definitely the case.

Dude has no idea the difference between MB and Mb.

This is the kind of guy who has no clue how computers works, but thinks because he spent money he is entitled to whatever he wants.

2gb is 200MB I think the OP thinks it's 2GB or 2000MB. In fairness that is a pretty easy mistake to make.

You're right. Not a single person in this entire thread has gotten the conversion right.

2Gbs is 250MBs

560Mbs is 70MBs.

i genuinely don't understand this. can someone explain this to me please? purely educational have no interest in negative replies

Mbs are not the same as MBs, to keep it simple just divide by 8. Started with 8bits iirc.

It's actually quite simple.

A byte is made out of 8 bits.

So anything suffixed with byte, is 8 times more than something with bit.

8 megabits is 1 megabyte.

8 gigabits is 1 gigabyte.

Internet providers use this to lie to their customers. They say you're buying "2gig" internet, but they mean to gigabits, so only its actually only 1/8th of 2 gigabytes. The average computer user only knows about "bytes" used in storage, so this tricks people into thinking they have 8* the internet speed they actually do.

[Crowtourious]

I don't think conversion is op's issue, I'm on 1Gbs connection although it randomly boosts to 1.5 to 2 late night or early morning. Averaging 95-110ish MBs on steam red dead 2 (118gbs) took me around 15 mins to install. OP mentioned he doesn't have time to sit and install a game for 6-8 hours.

Someone paid 6000$ for a computer and has 2gig internet,
and is not happy.

So much anger.

While i am fine.

This is the real problem here.

No one should need to work this much. Either OP made some really poor financial descisions, or his company is complete ♥♥♥♥. I don't care how much you're getting payed. It's clearly not worth it. If you can afford 8+k on a PC, then you can afford to reduce your hours at work.

People shouldn't live to work, but work to live.
We don't know his financial situation, but he mentioned first pc in the 80s putting him somewhere between his 40-50s, I've known divorce/alimony to cripple multi millionaires finances.

Also you can download while you are away. Or doing something else, for example playing another game.
