Anyone have any idea on how to speed up this stuff? I’ve deleted and tried msi Center and also installed cfosspeed but it still gets 514kb/s and peak of 1.2mb/s on steam. On epic games launcher a 10gb update would take maybe half an hour to an hour or so. Not sure why steam takes a WHOLE DAY for 20gb.

What is the speeds from your ISP?
jolly meadow
70mb/s up and 20 down
Usually though when downloading on epic I get 5-7mb/s but on steam is less then 2
I changed my DNS to Google’s and it’s up to 2.5mb/s now, not sure what’s up

Is this on WIFI or ethernet?

Ethernet
modest hinge
have you tried a different ethernet cable?
and is it direct to router?
or going to one of those extender wifi things? or a powerline adapter?
jolly meadow
It’s 2 Wi-Fi adopters, 1 next to router (with Ethernet cable) and 1 upstairs next to the pc (with Ethernet cable)
slim scarab
Powerline adapter?
modest hinge
Yeah are these powerline adapters or actual WiFi extender things?
If they’re powerline adapters, what specification did you buy? AC600 etc
jolly meadow
Yes those ones

If they’re powerline adapters, what specification did you buy? AC600 etc
And I think you got it spot on it’s from tplink and it works great but not with steam apparently?
modest hinge
Is it working great everywhere but steam?
have you checked the "Download" section in Steam Settings?
jolly meadow
I believe so, this is what it’s at right now but I’ll test it with epic in 2 mins
jolly meadow
have you checked the "Download" section in Steam Settings?
Yep, I even changed it from Manchester to London and i didn’t see a different
modest hinge
do you have any of these options ticked/unticked
jolly meadow
Nope the exact same as you
modest hinge
That is just weird...
jolly meadow
It peaked at 3.5mbps at the start not the 5-7 maybe bc of family but it’s not the 500kbps
modest hinge
Have you cleared the download cache?
jolly meadow
Have you cleared the download cache?
Yep yesterday
modest hinge
The only thing I can think about is it's being throttled by something
jolly meadow
I uninstalled msi centre and the LAN MANAGER and also installed cfosspeed but tbh I really have no clue what I’m doing
modest hinge
Surely it couldn't be software, if it was then the entire thing would be affected
jolly meadow
I’m gonna try turned off the adopters and then turning them back on again, I haven’t tried that but at the same time I’ve never had this problem until downloading with steam
modest hinge
Have you tried to limit your download speed in steam, to something just faster than your maximum speed
Say you're getting 5-7 on epic, try setting it to 7 on steam
or even higher
jolly meadow
do you have any of these options ticked/unticked
I’m not sure how to do that, I haven’t played with the steam settings other then the picture you showed me here
jolly meadow
How do I get to that page?
jolly meadow
Booting up my pc again
Oh there we go wooo
That’s a lot better thank you so much!
Way better then the 600kbps, 10x better thank you 😌
modest hinge
Jesus it worked!
In that case, try even boosting that number up a bit
What is the speed you get from your ISP?
jolly meadow
8.6mpbs
jolly meadow
What is the speed you get from your ISP?
It’s 70 down and 20 up but family and stuff make it less and also the power line etc
modest hinge
say, pause the download and see what result this gives out
and see if we can maximise the download speed for you
jolly meadow
modest hinge
is that on your PC?
jolly meadow
yep
jolly meadow
should i start it?
modest hinge
Yeah that's still night and day compared to what you were getting
Just keep it set at that speed, and if it goes higher, all the better
modest hinge
No worries, glad we could solve it 😄
and fun fact, that peak speed was faster than your advertised speeds
so it's actually running pretty good in comparison to your router speeds now
jolly meadow
and fun fact, that peak speed was faster than your advertised speeds
Ohhhh wow.. that’s great to hear
