How to Increase Download Speed on Steam Deck
First up, always check your internet connection. It's like the gas for your Steam Deck's download engine. If you're on WiFi, try moving closer to the router or use a 5GHz band if available. Ethernet is the gold standard though, so if you can, use an adapter for a direct connection. Less interference, more speed!
Next, fiddle with the Steam settings. In Steam, go to 'Settings' > 'Downloads' and change the download region to the one closest to you. Sometimes neighboring regions can be faster, so a little experimentation might work wonders. Also, clear that download cache! It's like a speed bump for your downloads.
Lastly, try downloading during off-peak hours. When everyone's asleep, your Steam Deck can hog all that internet goodness without sharing.

Honestly, just plug in an Ethernet cable if you can. WiFi is convenient but nothing beats old school wired internet for stability and speed.
I've tried everything from potions to witchcraft to increase my Steam Deck download speeds, but who knew? The solution was just changing the download region and avoiding peak hours! Works like a charm.
