Actually, I found a great improvement in download speeds after switching to a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi. It's like the old school trick that never fails. The stability and speed were noticeably better!
First up, make sure your internet isn't being hogged by other devices. Then, head over to Steam's settings and hit the 'Downloads' tab. Here, change your download region to the one closest to you. Weirdly enough, your current region might not always be the fastest. Also, try limiting Steam's bandwidth usage to avoid it taking all your internet speed, especially if it's not very high.
A bit unconventional, but try clearing your Download Cache in Steam. Go to 'Settings' > 'Downloads' > 'Clear Download Cache'. It's like a mini reset for Steam, and it can sometimes work wonders for download speeds. Make sure to log back into Steam afterwards.
