Ark downloads chunk of data, stop, then unpacks and rewites the data, before carrying on again.
So let it do it's thing.
If it's carrying on far too long, ensure that you aren't running Steam on a drive with any more than 90% used as you will get performance wonkiness like this.
And as for that 90%, make sure that any download you make leave well within that 90% AFTER download. The actually workspace neede for many downloads can be THREE TIMES the total file length.
alot better explanation and detail, it ruleout so many other old outdate pc setup, and you just confirm it's not that. and try see it as could have been even worse setup.
we are not after ppl for what they have and have to use now.
as @crunchyfrog point out Arc and PoE seem to have alot attention , only very fastest disk and pc dont even notice other then they total DL and Replace almost same as reinstall all, i cant help at ArK SE , dont have it, but its still a issue.
as
crunchyfrog explan looklike Super compressed file , and your cpu have to unpak and write it and why it stop , because your pc has not caught up or not faster enough to do it and why DL is reduce you cant keep up. ( this is network in abc if you cant recive data you send back icmp and told sender "i cant do it captain" sorry for the humor , but sometime that is learn the best way with such terms. )
just so you know Super compressed files is even more compact then zip file on MAX and steam and other have server to repack huge DATA with it. problem is our CPU actual aient fast enough to unpak it sametime you DL on 1 GB network , things have change.
so your disk is still slowest media in our pc. sure i can say alot harder word , but we have to live with it untill next gen storage solution is fast enough.
This is a great read on exactly how Steam downloads work.

and OS with 50% free seem to have faster respond time ( not so many know this ) its not a advice its more faster dump data with lesser time waste of looklike for free room debat, if you can call it that. ( or best conditions )
and do check idle status ( windows resources manager inside task manager )
you are not the first user caugth a app or disk defrag run and take performance out of disk because user dont know it was running . im not saying you have it . im saying it will not help if you have multi process ongoing without you know it.
Nice link and a decent read. Thanks for this.
(Plus, I expect quality info from a Manc :) )
and respect 10% free room old win rule advice ?
That may hint at being a fragmented drive, because that's what you'd expect to happen.
So, just to be clear here - are you running your hard drives fuller than 90%, and have defragged them regularly?
If you haven't you haven't solved anything because it will happen again.
And you dont have partions on the disk , ( aka. dual write issue on 2 logical drevs, thats also a no go. that is same as as muti copy on same disk, most know this , but you can forget it thats its same disk doing two job.
