Steam Download Speed Drops
For the past 2 weeks my steam download speed keeps jumping up and down. I have 100mb internet speed usually i will download steam. It will drop down to. Are you tired of slow download speeds stopping you from enjoying your games on steam? Here is a quick and easy remedy to said scenario in a few steps.
Note: Client rate settings are useful in troubleshooting lag and poor multiplayer performance. Please see the topic for further recommendations. Steam Download Speed If you notice connection problems during Steam downloads, or want to limit how much bandwidth steam can use, go to the Limit downloads to the following bandwidth drop-down menu in the Download tab in your Steam client's settings pane. You can find it in Steam's File >Settings menu. Note that the rates listed here are in kilo bytes and mega bytes a second, while most Internet connections are rated in bits per second. Game Server Browser Ping Rate If you have connection problems when you open the Steam server browser, try turning the Game server browser: max pings / minute setting to the minimum, then re-test the issue. If that resolves the problem you are seeing, try testing at higher rates until you find the highest rate that doesn't cause a problem.
In-game Rate Most connections work well with the default rate, cl_updaterate, and cl_cmdrate settings. Most servers prevent changing your in-game rate settings. Default Settings vary between games, but the following is a safe baseline for most broadband connections: • rate 30000 • cl_updaterate 20 • cl_cmdrate 30 Test Script You may try this test rate settings script to see what different settings do, but the default settings are the best for most internet connection types. Instructions Download this rate.cfg file and put it in your game folder, then add the line exec rate.cfg to your userconfig.cfg file: rate.cfg 56K modems are usually best set to a rate between 3500 to 5000 - you may need to edit some of the rate settings to find the best range for performance. Once you have loaded the rate.cfg test script you can execute the following commands in the developer's console to determine which rate offers the best performance: • rates - see all the current settings • dslow - only useful for minimal testing, probably not playable • vslow • slow • norm - default settings • fast • vfast • lfast - LAN and high-speed connections only You may also use the F2 key to cycle around to all the settings.
Thanks for your help I have also same exact proplem while downloading with origin also what do you mean by reset my router? Do you mean unplug it from wall then plug it again? Or turn it off and then on? Vag Com Cable Serial Number here.
Yeah, the ol' reboot method of fixing things. Unplug the router and modem (if you have separate ones), leave them unplugged for 10-15 seconds, then plug them back in. Wait a few minutes before trying again and then see if it works. Do you have decreased download speeds watching YouTube or Netflix as well? Or is it just Steam/Origin? If you are watching a YouTube video, set it to the highest quality setting (1080p or 4K even) and right click on the video and select 'Stats For Nerds.'

It should show you your download rate. If that's normal and Origin/Steam are still slow, it's probably your ISP. You said you had just reinstalled Windows? Are you downloading a bunch of other stuff too? By chance do you have Star Citizen, and are you updating that? The Star Citizen updater seems to ignore the download limit that you can set and will completely saturate your connection.
