Problems with Steam Download Speed

[kevinbacon]

I would post this on Steam but I never get a response on there so hopefully I can get some help here.

Usually on steam when I download games it's speed is about 300+ KB/s but for the past few days my download speed on steam has been about 20-60 KB/s. On Blizzard, when patching WoW, my current download speed is about 350 KB/s. Which shows me that this problem is only happening on Steam. Anything I can do to fix this? I cleared my download cache on steam, restarted steam and even restarted my laptop. None of that worked.

Run a simple speed test on speedof.me just to verify. I know you said Blizzard works fine, but we want to rule out everything.

So I am basically usually between 250-400. Definitely an issue I am having with steam.

I suspect it's just overloaded Steam servers. I would wait a couple days before attempting to troubleshoot further.
