Every time I download a game from Steam, it downloads for about 15 seconds then queues. I have reinstalled steam and still doing the same thing. Any help to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My internet speed is average at best. However my brother is a good 10m away from the router then me and his works perfectly. Mines a brand new computer. And I don't play any other games when downloading. I've verified the cache, changed network locations, reinstalled steam, nothing seems to work. So frustrating!

Run this http://www.speedtest.net/ and try and see if you just have a lot of people on your internet. After you start to download something and you notice it start to pause pause it manually and then start it again. Otherwise just leave it there and it will eventually start downloading again. Also it may be a steam server issue.

My download speed is 4.55mbps. Yeah I downloaded a 6gb game from steam and it took 3 days.. Before this problem it would only be a couple of hours. I'm downloading a movie now and its 2.26gb and it's only taking an hour. I might just have to leave my computer on again and wait 3 days...

Thanks for the advise, much appreciated.

Umm no steam should not be doing that if the problem doesn't fix itself within a few days see if you contact steam cause it really should not be doing that especially if you are downloading fine and fast from other websites.
