How to Make a Steam Download Go Faster
First thing, check ya internet connection. If it's slow like a sloth, consider upgrading. Pause other downloads or streaming cause they gobble up bandwidth like there's no tomorrow. In Steam, go to Settings > Downloads and pick a server closer to you under Download Region. Less distance means speedy downloads. Also, limit the bandwidth Steam can use to 'No limit' unless you're sharing the net with a house full of binge-watchers.

Honestly, just plug in an ethernet cable. WiFi is like trying to catch fish with your hands - it works, but there's a better tool for the job. Wired connections are the way to go for stability and speed. Also, clear that Steam download cache; it's like cleaning the cobwebs, making room for the new stuff.
Eh, patience is a virtue. Sometimes the servers are just busy. Do something else and let it download in its own sweet time. Not every solution has to be technical.
Set Steam to high priority in Task Manager. Right-click the taskbar, open Task Manager, find Steam, right click > go to details, right-click Steam.exe > set priority > high. It's like telling your computer, 'Hey, focus on this, it's important.'
