Steam downloads can drop to 0 for a few reasons - your internet connection might be inconsistent, Steam's servers could be under a lot of pressure (especially during big sales or game releases), or it might just be doing some background processing of the files already downloaded. It's kinda like when your brain needs a moment to process after seeing a really long math problem.

Quick fix that sometimes works: pause the download and start it again. It's like giving it a little nudge to wake up!

I swear, every time there's a big sale, my downloads go bonkers. You're not alone. It's like Steam's way of playing hard to get.

It's probably your internet. Steam has been fine for me.
