My download speed critically drops when i open folders or chrome.

[NikePowa]

As written in the titol, my download speed, as soon as i am with the steam window opened and i'm looking at it, is downloading at its normal speed (in my case 400kb/s, because Italy is good).
But when i open chrome (just by opening it) or a folder, the download drops criticcally to 40/50 kb/s (sometimes even less but in any case without arriving at 0).
I tried with a fullscreen game but it doesn't drop, even if minimized.
Please, help.

Without getting a better internet package or getting fibre-optic, there isn't much to be done about your quality of internet directly. However, assuming you arn't already, try using a wired connection as it can make your internet speed a lot more reliable even when multi-tasking


That said, I'm afraid that without any other options to improve your internet quality physically, theres not much that can be done for your steam. My advice would be to download everything when you go out or while you're sleeping so that you don't need to worry about straining your downloads while your on.
