Why does my Steam download keep dropping to 0?
Steam download speeds can be super finicky! Common reasons include your internet connection acting up, Steam servers being overloaded (especially during big sales or game launches), or background applications eating up your bandwidth. A quick fix can be to pause and resume the download or restarting your router. And don't forget to check if Steam's downloading during off-peak hours helps!

It's all about your internet, mate. Steam itself is solid, but if your wifi is like a yo-yo, expect downloads to drop. Maybe try a wired connection?
I had this issue last week! Changed my download region in Steam's settings to a less busy server and boom, problem solved. Worth a shot.
Honestly, I think Steam just likes to test our patience. But checking for Steam client updates sometimes does the trick.
Actually, sometimes it's not your internet or Steam. If you're running a VPN or antivirus, they can interfere with your connection. Try disabling them temporarily and see if your download speeds improve.
