Pro tip from someone who's been there, done that: Check your firewall settings. Sometimes it's not even Steam, it's your security settings slowing down the connection. And don't forget to clear that download cache in Steam settings from time to time. Works like a charm!
Limit your downloads to non-peak hours. Internet's like a highway, less traffic at night means you can go faster!
Easy peasy! First off, gotta make sure you pick the closest server location to ya in the Steam settings. Less digital distance means faster downloads. Also, try limiting bandwidth-hogging activities like streaming or heavy browsing while you're downloading. Sometimes, pausing and resuming the download gives it a jolt too!
