I Think Steam is Throttling My Downloads?

[Creator of Euthanasia™]

So I've had this problem with Steam downloads for about a year, and I've finally gotten fed up with it. I had other computer issues so I have recently rebuilt my computer, and I have also just changed my IP and the issue still persists.

This is what my downloads look like

And this is my internet speed

What I've Tried:

• Reinstalling Steam
  
• Clearing download cache
  
• Changing download region
  
• Turning off firewall
  
• Rebuilding my PC
  
• Changing IP

I don't know what's happening and steam's support is ass, so if anyone would be willing to help it would be greatly appreciated.

Steam doesn’t throttle Downloads

Steam can obliterate your connection

Steam downloads are limited by 2 LOCAL resources

1) your CPU
2) your disk IO

You’re likely disk IO limited which you can see by looking at performance monitor and looking at your disk stats. You’re likely running at 100% utilization

Only your ISP can throddle your internet speeds contact them and ask if they do.
Internet connection can be throddled down if you exceed your download limits.
or when Steam or your internet has high traffic.
Restart your modem, check your cable is seated right and not degrading.
If using wireless check if anyone is else is also using it.
Edit
looking at your image that can also happen when the download is large and it stops for a moment to cache the download ie unpack it, could also allocate space for it. Seems normal. If it has any DLC with it untick them from downloading with it.

I don't see the problem. Your speedtest Mbps calculated to MB/s is 1.25 and steam is reporting 1.3 MB/s.
That's a whole .05 MB/s off which is practically nothing. I'm assuming you're not savvy on how internet speeds are labelled.

Steam does not throttle connections and the speeds are the same.

The OP has 1gb speed.

OP... My average...

Troubleshooting Network Connectivity

Try all download servers until you find one with speeds you are happy with.

There are over 130 to try.

Any server near me was slow as dirt. Nearest does not always equal faster.

Today, Rio was better for me. Yesterday, Columbia was better (odd, ain't it?). Btw... I'm on the East Coast.

And ISPs also throttle. Also consider traffic.

Speed test says Mbps, Steam says MB/s.

Mbps = Megabits per second (8 Mb = 1 MB)
MB/s = Megabytes per second (1 MB = 8 Mb)

The speeds aren't off enough to be worried about.

Even if they were the peak time and how busy the server is on off peak times are both factors that can effect connection speed. It's not being throttled.

There isn't anything anyone can do about it.

[Cathulhu]

1.3 x 8 = 10.4 Megabit per second
His speedtest shows 946.25 Megabit per second

Not sure how you came to the conclusion that the speed isn't off enough to be worried about.

[Jack Schitt]

Peak times, server being busy.

It's not being throttled.

The end.

Right........ no, just no. If you don’t know what you’re talking about - and you clearly don’t - then stow the attitude and leave it to the experts.

I’ll refer the OP back to Hotsauce’s post and the links contained in it.

this is mandatory. if pc cant keep up own router will send icmp back to source reduce network transfer ( i cant recive data anyway and start drop packets )
