Changing servers never helped me. Just download overnight, no stress.
Wanna speed up your Steam downloads? Easy peasy! First off, make sure to pick the closest server location in Steam's settings. This can drastically cut down on download times. Also, give your internet a boost by pausing any other downloads or streams that might be hogging your bandwidth. If you're feeling adventurous, tweaking your bandwidth limit settings in Steam could also help - sometimes it's set way lower than what your actual internet speed can handle.
Honestly, the best way to speed up Steam downloads? Use an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi is convenient but if you're after speed, you can't beat a wired connection. I switched and never looked back!
