Steam download speed 10x slower than regular download speed, can't download anything

[Kasey]

No matter what I try to download, it always downloads at ~200kbps, while my download speed is actually ~3mbps ( http://www.speedtest.net/result/7529692959 ). Please help

Speed test reports download speeds in Megabits per second. By default, steam reports download speeds in Megabytes per second.

A byte is 8 bits, so a download speed of 3 megabits per second is 375 kilobytes per second.

Your speed test is really odd though. I can't recall ever seeing one with a much higher upload speed than download speed.

Ah, I see... I guess I was pretty stupid there, but my download is really low... thanks
