This lets most users have a responsive experience, but penalizes people downloading large files (and thus using a lot of bandwidth). Web pages are made up of lots of small files, so they load fast. This lets small downloads happen fast, but large file downloads get throttled. This will avoid interference from various sources.įinally, the behavior you mention where it starts fast and then slows down is common among some shady ISPs (and some big ISPs are shady). If you're on wifi, try a wired connection.
Conversely the problem could be a virus if you don't have an anti-virus, get one. 8 Mbits = 1 Mbyte.Ĭheck if Steam is being blocked or throttled by a firewall or anti-virus, either on your computer or on your router. Speedtest, and most ISPs, will report in mega bits. Be careful to note the difference between Mbit/s (mega bits per second) and Mbyte/s (mega bytes per second). You should also check your total throughput of your connection using a site like. For example, does Origin or Glyph have the same problem? If they do this would indicate it's not Steam but something about your computer or network. The steam installation process requires players to create an account, redeem the code provided by Steam (you can find it on steam on the right panel under Links -> CD Key on Steam when the game is selected), select a subscription, and register their payment method. Try a large download from another site outside your school's network, perhaps another game utility. In Preferences->Downloads there's a number of options which could cause your problem.
