How do I boost download speeds on Steam?

Kilimanjaro_1 · Mar 25, 2017

On steam I am trying to install a game, however, I am only getting 2.7 mb/s. When I went on task manager, it said I had 23 mb/s incoming to the computer. Any ideas how I boost the download to at least around 10mb/s?

Cheers

What is you ISP speed. Network connection speeds are normally in bits/sec where file downloads are bytes/second

Get your units straight.

23 megabits per second equal 2.8 megabytes per second
Steam usually displays megabytes, ISPs, windows and Speedmeters usually megabits

Isokolon is correct. You need to understand the relationship between bandwidth and download speed:

Your bandwidth is 23 megabits per second.

8 megabits = 1 Megabyte

23 divided by 8 = 2.8

So your download speed of 2.7 Megabytes/sec is just about spot on for your bandwidth.
