Why is my Steam download so slow?
Yo, slow Steam downloads can be a real drag. But don't sweat it, there are a few reasons why this might be happening. First off, check your internet connection; it's the usual suspect. Then, dive into Steam's settings and make sure you're connected to a server that's close to you. If that server's overloaded, switch it up! Also, clear your download cache in Steam settings, sometimes that stuff gets clogged. Don't forget to pause and restart the download too, works like a charm sometimes.

Steam downloads slow? Honestly, it's probably just your internet. Steam's pretty solid.
Been there, done that with slow downloads. I moved my games to an SSD and, voila, things seemed to pick up. Not sure if it's a placebo, but hey, it felt faster! Check if your disk's not the bottleneck.
