When I downloaded a game I started with 29 MB/s and half way through it dropped to 1 mb/s and then around 800 kb/s. I read people saying they fixed it by opening ports in steam, I tried but I don't know how to find internal/external ip. Could it be a hard drive/ssd thing? Speed tests are at 230 mbps, could my ISP be limiting steam?
