Why does Steam throttle download speeds?
Steam might throttle download speeds for a couple of reasons. One common cause is network congestion, especially during big sales or when a highly anticipated game drops and everyone's trying to download it at once. It's like rush hour traffic but for games. Another factor could be your own internet plan's bandwidth limits or the settings in Steam itself, where you can actually limit download speeds. Sometimes, adjusting these settings or downloading during less busy hours can help speed things up.

Honestly, never noticed any throttling. Maybe check your internet or settings? Steam's always been top-notch for me.
It's because your internet can't handle the awesomeness of Steam! Just kidding. It's usually due to heavy traffic on Steam's servers or limitations set on your Steam client. Check your settings!
