Hey. Might be an obvious thing, but I thought I'd ask.

Trying to download a game on steam. Download speed gets kinda stuck at least than a few Mbs a second (30 ISH).

Ran network speed test and it's 245Mbps.

Uhm

Are you sure your steam download is saying mbps and not MB/s?

#

Since 30 MB/s is roughly equivalent to 245-250mbps

Ah. Well. That might be why.

However, often the download isn't that high. I seem to have this 'disk' issue where it sits at 100% use which seems to stop anything downloading at any speed.

I've been tried a number of fixes, no joy. It might fix it for a short while, but nothing permanent.
