I'm trying to download a game but it keeps dropping down to 0mb/s.
It peaks up to about 7mb/s but then it drops down to 0mb/s and just stays there for about a minute.

I don't have this issue on any other download, only on steam.
Origin, GOG, uplay, etc. all work fine.

Does it say writing to disk?

Satoru 15.10.2015 klo 12.55

Depends on what you're doing

If you're patching an existing game yo ushould see the disk activity jump when the download isnot happening. Thats because Steam is patching the files and writing to disk.

maybe is a internet problem, check it

No, this is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/T3y5nmu.png
In my library it just shows up as "Metro 2033 Redux - 18%."

I'm downloading a new game.

See that green line?

See the green box on the faaar right with the text Disk next to it?

That's what Satoru and I were talking about.

It apparently doesn't say disk usage anymore. When did that change...

I've checked everything, everything works fine.
Also checked my firewall, nothing out of the ordinary.
I dont have any other downloads running at the moment.

It keeps going on and off.
As I said, everything else works fine, this only happens on Steam.

Looks more like your router/firewall/network is screwed up.

Steam uses pure HTTP to download your games. If your router can't handle pure HTTP then there' something wrong with it. If you're on wifi, there are a dozen other factors that could screw up your connection as well.

had the same problem 5 mins ago. Fixed it by switching the Downloadregion to Us - Dallas

Steam's still doing something. Not sure exactly what though.

Or what Satoru said.

Same here (Netherlands). I guess that the (EU) Steam's servers are dead.

I'm on cable, I've never had this issue before. My router is relatively new.
