Why is Steam downloading slow?
Steam downloads might be slow for a bunch of reasons. First, check your internet connection; it might be the culprit. If your net's fine, the Steam server could be overloaded, especially during big sales or game launches. Also, peek into your Steam settings and make sure your download bandwidth isn't limited and that you're connected to a server close to you for the best speeds. And don't forget to clear that download cache!
