How to Increase Steam Download Speeds
First thing, check your internet connection because sometimes it's not Steam, it's your WiFi throwing a tantrum. Another trick is to clear your download cache in Steam's settings. This is like telling your Steam to take a deep breath and start fresh, could work wonders. Also, try changing your download region in Steam's settings to a region that's closer to you or less busy. Late at night can be a good time because fewer people are downloading and hogging the bandwidth.

I switched my download region to one that's closer to me, and it felt like I went from dial-up to broadband. It's in the Steam settings under Downloads. Give it a shot, might just make your day.
Hot take: Just pause and unpause the download. Sounds too simple, but sometimes it magically works. Steam might just need that little nudge to get its gears moving faster.
Everyone's going on about changing settings, but have you tried using an Ethernet cable? WiFi is convenient and all, but it's not always the fast lane we wish it was. Ethernet could give you that stability and speed boost you're looking for. Just saying, it's an old school move that still holds up.
