Steam Download Problem

[MR.TreeFrog]

 

Ok so as you can see the steam download is going over the set max and is slowing down the rest of my internet what can i do?

P.S i know in task manager it says 24% but 21 MBS is my max...

What's the problem here?

 

Your LAN connection is 100Mbps, and you're using 24% of that, aka 24Mbps

steam is using 20 of those 24

 

I dont see what the problem is...

Limit your speed in the options of steam, still don't see how this would slow you down as other applications would take priority of the internet speed which steam is

using.

1MB/s = 8megabit

10MB/s =80megabit

Its cause steam shows Megbytes  and not megabits.

Difference between Mbps (Megabit) and MB/s (Megabyte)

20Mbps is generally around 2.5 MB/s

If you want to throttle the network speed of steam, do it in the options of steam.

For example, this:

Will limit the speed Steam is allocated, between 2AM and 8AM (no need to set the time), to 1.5MB/s (or 12 Mbps), leaving you plenty of headroom for everything else, including streaming HD videos and online gaming. Setting it at 10 MB/s = 80 Mbps, way above your current speed, which is why your current throttling doesn't work.

 

The rest is like @Enderman said.
