Just installing something and wondering.
My peak was 5.6mb/s, average seemed to be around 5mb/s. And that was when I was streaming music and other people using the internet...

So, what's yours?

The overall data transfer speed is dictated by the CPU: more threats, higher frequency equals higher download/ upload speed as well as SWAP memory (for who knows my alien language)... I get 4.7 mBps peak and average 3.8mBps on a dual core @3gHz or 8.5mBps peak and 7.5mBps average on Core i5. Hope this is usefull ^_^

You could try overclocking your modem so it goes even faster!

Well not realy...even on IPv6 ,WLAN off and master device the modem (D-Link DCM-somehow) reads the computer specs and calculates the logical maximum speed wich it can download with and it won't let me overdrive the specs :/

Actually the bottleneck is your harddisks I/O most probably.Since steam moves a lot of data you must have a fast enough hard disk.
CPU speed/type is irrelevant to internet speed since an old pentium is already fast enough to handle the bandwidth going through on your typical adsl line.

1 TB 8400rpm HDD >_>

wich is: (aprox values) 70mbps write on disk // 50 mbps read from disk // 40~55 mbps read-write (moving) depending on files sections // 50 mbps install from disk to disk

I don't think I've ever seen an 8400rpm hdd, but still there are so many factors that could affect your speed.With an i5 and a dual core though cpu is probably the last one.

The internet connection limit is reached way before the CPU limit.

I'm at university, where there is wicked fast internet, and im getting a peak of 7.2mb/s. however at home it rarely goes above 300 KB/s

Peak is 15Mbps (Virgin broadband UK). Sounds decent, but the connection drops more than other ISPs I have used in UK, and also we still suffer from poor upload speeds in despite having good download speeds.

1.4 MB/s peak, 850 KB/s average speed.

6.8 MB/s or over 50 mb/s.
I've found Steam will absorb most or all of the free bandwidth. In the past I've had trouble with it stealing bandwidth from say a Netflix HD stream at the same time but I've not had that issue in a year or more. Most other internet usage takes very little bandwidth, so Steam can download at a full or near max speed while streaming music (very low bandwidth) or others use the internet.

While me connections max DL is 2.4mb/s Steam some times shows 5-6 mb/s as peak so im guessing its kinda broken.
Anyway my average DL and most logical for my connection's limit is 1-1.2 mb/s.

1mb/s is average, peak is about 1.8mb/s. I really need some new powerline plugs(we pay for 60MB/S or ~7mb/s)

About 4-5MB/s (32-40Mb/s). My connection: 60Mb/s (up to 7,5MB/s, but I don't saw at steam download more than 7,2MB/s). Yeah steam rare use more than 5,6MB/s, when I download somthing from other source I got always 7,4MB/s. Mayby it depend how many ppl download smth from steamm servers.

Steam would tell me that I hit 3 or 4 MB/s when I know full well I only have a 8Mb/s connection. A more believable hit would be around 1,024KB/s
