Ok, what's up with steam's downloader
This has been an issue that has plagued my life over multiple computers, multiple steam accounts, and multiple internet sources. Steam's downloader is always choppy, always stopping and starting, and always throttles my download speeds. I've tried so many times to change the download region, unlimit the download speeds, deleting download cache, restarting devices, etc. Nothing ever works, the downloads are always completely stopping after a few seconds and restarting after a few seconds at much lower speeds than I should be getting. And the worst part is that this only happens on steam's downloader and no others. On other launchers like xbox or EA or Riot my download speed never stutters or stops, and its always at the 100 mb/s it should be. So what is steam's problem? Why has this been something I've had to just deal with for my whole life?

Maybe ssd write behind cache issue.

or are you sure your disk/pc is not 100% busy at disk write , ( see windows taskmanger ) i disk is busy then it work as intended. )

steam use CPU while unpacking and write its task. ( this means your pc is busy with antivirus scan in top of this while I/O disk operations. )
