Just change your download region. Steam lets you pick a server that's closer to you, and sometimes that’s all it takes. Worked for me!

Speeding up your Steam downloads can feel like a game in itself, haha. But here's the cheat code: First, try clearing your download cache via Steam's settings. It's like giving your Steam a fresh start! Also, check your download region in Steam's settings. Sometimes, choosing a server closer to your actual location can boost speeds dramatically. And don't forget to pause other internet-heavy activities. Yes, that might mean pausing your 4K cat video stream for a bit.
