Steam download speed

Did you try changing the download location to your nearest?

My default download speed is 500-700 KB/s. So good luck with your problem. ^This

Where do you people get your fast internet connections? :(

I can't really help you with your problem (I get most times my full 1 - 1.5 MBytes/s), but like Hanneman said, have you set the download server to somewhere near you?

Try using TCP view to kill the steam dl connection. It should restart with a faster speed.

My nan got 5mb/s for borderlands 2 :s

Better than me last night. Got only ~20KB/s trying to download Dwarfs. I usually download from steam at 2-3 MB/s

@tags23: I would be happy with that. But it's still low, compared to what Steam's forum/support says it should be.

@Brotbaum:
I set the location to the city I'm in right now.
As for that Internet connection, that would be Bucharest, RO. It's 10E/month.

@ND1Razor:
I did that. It only gave it a 100 KB/s boost for about 5-10 minutes.
I also tried deleting ClientRegistry.blob to make Steam update and reset location and connection but it didn't work out.

@iBeatz: 5mb/s or 5MB/s? 5mb/s means 640 KB/s

@jatan11t: Yeah, I've been there too :(

i get 1.1mb/s max

It's weird, I get 48 mbps when downloading from steam, while my girlfriend gets only about 8 mbps. So its not as much about their servers as it is about their client. It seems not to work well with some computers.

On Steam I pretty much always get double to quadruple my regular download speed for other stuff.

it downloads at full speed for me... my max speed is 300 kb/s (not only on Steam, everywhere, stupid internet)

I got 64.5 MB/s. Yes i said megabytes. It was SR3.

My friend just upgraded and his now apparently goes at 10 MB/s.

i should get around 500 kbps but sadly i only get 350-400 kbps on steam yea sometimes for a few seconds i get 1.5 mbps but that lasts for only 5-10 seconds

Location: Lima, Peru
Internet speed: 5.17 Mbps
Steam download speed: 500kb/s - 800kb/s
sometimes peaks of 1mb/s even more...

I got 1.6 to 2.6 MB/S. Took an hour for Darksiders to download.

I've had up to 11MB/sec and regularly about 7MB/sec. I think it depends on how busy the servers are and maybe the game being DL'ed as I had low speeds on the THQ bundle things (which I assume a zillion people were DL at the same time).

what ISP do u use? 100 dl, 60 uload thats crazy.

i have about 30 dl and 1 uload lol! and thats a good rate in canada, unless u wanna shovel about $100+ for just internet then u can get the 120-150 downloading

p.s: im with Rogers. They throttle customers non stop and its obvious they do when ur speed drops 70-85% lol.

Try changing the Steam server you're using?

That's actually really fast when compared with what I usually get with my apartments internet speed. I normally clock 10 to 90 kbps. I would sometimes get lucky or something and get 1 mbps at random times.

try Dedicated VPN or proxy

I'm jealous of those speeds. My highest ever has been 180 kb/s.

I'm having trouble too :( Ironically everyone's favourite DD service Origin gives me full speed.

Did you try adding Steam service to the exceptions tab in your firewall?

The max speed I can get is 200kb/s ._.
