First things first, check your internet connection to make sure it's not the bottleneck. Switching from WiFi to a wired connection can make a world of difference in download speeds. Also, dive into Steam's Settings > Downloads and consider changing your download region to one closer to you or less busy. Sometimes, the issue is simply the server you're connected to. Lastly, limiting other bandwidth-heavy activities (like streaming movies or downloading large files elsewhere) can also help speed things up.

Make sure no one else is hogging the internet while you're trying to download your games. Nothing slows down a download like someone else in the house streaming in 4K! Also, try disabling any VPNs if you've got those running, as they can significantly slow down your internet speed.

Honestly, sometimes you just gotta download games at off-peak hours. Like late at night or early in the morning when fewer people are online. Makes a huge difference for me.
