there is 1000 of post with this explaned to death.
what game u getting that takes 5 days
On a separate note, my downloads here have always been at around 950 Kbps, for the last 10 years--regardless of my actual internet speed. It does some sort of throttling or limiting. I don't find that difficult to work with. I don't see anybody talking about that so I thought I'd mention it.
Steam is not limited
Steam can obliterate your gig connection
You are generally limieted by your
CPU
Disk IO
Anti-virus
To the OP - Steam works a bit differently to other services. As games are downlaoded encrypted and compressed, there's also emphasis on the hard drive you use and the CPU. Add that to the various bits and pieces that make up your internet connection, and it quite literally could be anything that is the cause.
The best way to approach these things is to break it down and check the things YOU Have control over - so check your hard drive either by swapping it out or changing to another. Check your cpu by using another device (if you can). If you finally get to your connection, then do the usual things - make sure you're not using wifi but cable instead, make sure your router isn't sat next to large electrical items, make sure your cabling is up to snuff and not wrapped around power cords or anything, and so on.
The issue with it is that ISPs now frequently QOS and prioritize traffic to speedtest.net to allow for fake data to populate. Meaning that you get much higher bandwidth to speedtest.net when in reality you will never get that speed in real life scenarios
A fair point, and well worth mentioning.
um acshually its 4 Days, 23 Hours, and 18 Minutes, 17 Seconds u are the stumberst thong ever
I'm not going to do the math, but based on my experience at around 950 Kbps...no.
5 Days, 5 Hours, and 35 Minutes, 2 Seconds
yes i am fun at parties
