Just connect to Ethernet. Wi-Fi is convenient but if you're after speed, a wired connection is the way to go. Ethernet won't compete with other devices for airwaves, giving you a highway rather than a bike path for your game downloads.

To turbocharge your Steam game downloads, start by ensuring your internet connection isn't being hogged by other devices. Next, hop into Steam's settings and navigate to the 'Downloads' tab鈥攈ere you can change the download region to one that's closer to you or less congested. Also, consider scheduling downloads for off-peak hours when internet traffic is lighter. Lastly, clear that download cache in Steam settings to potentially solve any speed bumps!

Y'all are complicating things. Pause and resume the download. Sometimes that's all it takes to kick it back into high gear.

Honestly? Just let it download overnight. Why watch water boil? Start the download, catch some Z's, and wake up to a game ready to play.
