Does Steam limit download speed?

Oh, totally. Steam doesn't put a cap on your download speeds directly. The speed at which you can download games mostly depends on your internet connection. However, there are server load times, especially during big sales or game launches, which might slow things down a bit. You can also manually limit download speeds in Steam settings, which is handy if you don't want Steam hogging all your bandwidth.

Steam doesn't cap speeds, but if you're on a snail-paced download, maybe it's time to have

Nah, Steam itself doesn't limit your download speed. If your downloads are slow, check your internet or Steam's server status during big releases. Sometimes the sheer volume of users downloading at the same time can cause a slowdown.
