You said you had just reinstalled Windows? Are you downloading a bunch of other stuff too? By chance do you have Star Citizen, and are you updating that? The Star Citizen updater seems to ignore the download limit that you can set and will completely saturate your connection. If that's normal and Origin/Steam are still slow, it's probably your ISP.

Do you have decreased download speeds watching YouTube or Netflix as well? Or is it just Steam/Origin? If you are watching a YouTube video, set it to the highest quality setting (1080p or 4K even) and right click on the video and select 'Stats For Nerds.' It should show you your download rate. From the left side of the Settings window, click on the Downloads tab. From the top-left corner, click on Steam. Wait a few minutes before trying again and then see if it works. Right-click on your Steam desktop app, then choose to Run as administrator. Unplug the router and modem (if you have separate ones), leave them unplugged for 10-15 seconds, then plug them back in. But when I start a downloading a game on Steam or Battlenet it downloads at a speed of 3MB/s and below. When I run a speed test I get speeds between 400-550 (which is good). Yeah, the ol' reboot method of fixing things. Why are my download speeds when downloading games so slow I have 500 Fiber and I’m directly connected to my Extender. I have also same exact proplem while downloading with origin alsoĭo you mean unplug it from wall then plug it again ?

Steam downloading super slow
