Question Steam downloads are absurdly slow for my internet speeds ?

[TwoThirds]

When i try to download things on steam it takes a Ludacris ludicrous amount of time, it's taking over 20 hours for like a game like cyberpunk 2077. I average about 7 Mbps and it constantly drops to 0. My internet speeds are 845 Mbps from ookla and 430 Mbps from fast.com.

• My steam download speed is not capped , i have it set to the right region
• I've tried reinstalling Steam
• I've cleared the download cache
• I've updated my chipset and Lan drivers
• I've checked DNS and changed it.

But nothing has made any difference. My roommate on the exact same connection as me has no issues on his newer pc so im wondering if there is some kind of hardware issue thats causes this?

I have an intel i7 8700k, RTX 2070 super, asus tuf z390, 32 GBs of ddr4 ram, a samsung SSD 970 evo with 500GB and a seagate barracuda 2Tb HD. neither of my drives are anywhere near close to full. Ive tried everything I've found so far online and i cant fix this.

So - only Steam is affected? Then you can rule out hardware issues.

Any other issues on that computer ?

Have you checked firewall rules/settings? Tried to disable Windows firewall (only briefly) ?

And - important question : Are you in control of the router / owner of internet connection ?

What other things could be affected? I really only download things on steam, i can stream things fine and files from the internet seem to download fine. no other issues that im aware of. i believe i did try disabling the firewall once before and it didnt seem to help. I am in control of the router and connection, my roommate on the same connection has no issues downloading on steam but he has a brand new 3k pc.
