Why does Steam download so slow?
Steam downloads can be slow for a bunch of reasons, like your internet connection speed, Steam server overload during big sales or game releases, or your Steam download cache needing a clear out. Always worth checking your connection and maybe switching your download region in Steam settings to somewhere less busy!

Just pause and resume the download. Works everytime like magic. Steam's just quirky like that.
It's all about your internet. Upgrade it, and you'll see the difference. Steam's fine.
Steam's slow because everyone's trying to download the same thing at the same time. Patience is key. Or try downloading at odd hours when fewer people are online.
