How to Download from Steam Faster
To speed up your Steam downloads, start by making sure you're connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable rather than Wi-Fi, for a more stable and faster connection. You can also try changing your Steam download region to one closer to you or less busy. Don't forget to pause any other ongoing downloads or streaming services to free up your bandwidth. Lastly, check for any background applications that could be using up your internet and close them.

Hot take: Just download overnight. Why rush when your PC can do the heavy lifting while you're dreaming?
Actually, tweaking some settings in Steam can make a big difference. Go to Steam > Settings > Downloads and limit the bandwidth to something a bit higher than what Steam's auto-setting might have chosen. This plus choosing a less congested server worked wonders for me. It's like finding the express lane in rush hour traffic!
