Report a translation problem
It tends to happen to some games, at least for me, I've got 120 Mbps internet speed and at one point my HDD decides to not download and let the HDD do it's job, it shouldn't take longer than an hour for the writing on its own (Had the same problem with PUBG, Monster hunter world and any other game that's around 20 GB or more, it would download the files and then process it for extra 5 minutes)
I think this is a problem on the Valve's side and need to be addressed
i had found some posts where OP is having the same issue, some people are saying call the ISP, but my download speed is fine on everything else, are ISP able to slow down steam downloads in particular? i dont want to make a stupid call and it turns out is just valve issue.
I guess it might be possible
In my experience it was same time lenght, just steam showed me when it's downloading and when it's relocating files (For honor downloaded over uplay it would say 14 MBps all the time meanwhile on steam it would relocate and say it's not downloading, and both downloaded aprox the same time)
Steam content servers can get congested, hence why you must change content servers from time to time.
Note a few things....
1) Steam can OBLITERATE your connection. It can easily saturate gigabit connections without breaking a sweat.
2) Steams downloads are compressed.
3) Steam for patches only sends delta files which are smaller than the target file its patching. The target file gets recreated based on the delta patches.
The primary reasons your downloads are slow are:
Network related:
1) Download region selected in steam, though this tends not to be the case unless the content server in question actually has issues.
2) Your ISP is throttling the connection.
3) Your router cannot handle the way steam downloads files using multiple threads.
Computer Related:
4) You are CPU limited as steam tries to decompress and patch files.
5) You are disk IO limited as steam uses tons of IO to patch files or decompress the compressed downloads.
6) Your AV software is SCREWING up your downloads.
You can check 4 and 5 by looking at your performance monitor and seeing what your disk and CPU performance is.
Likely you will see they are heavily utilized resulting in that being the cap at which you can download files at.
Same forum but there's no "correct" answer, you could try some extra solutions that are provided here
My suggestion is if it'll only take an hour or so longer, to just go through it over the night, specially if it's a one time thing
If it doesn't finish the download over the night, then try finding more solutions
