Without giving any details as to what's happening to you, do you really expect anyone to help? I've been running Steam on Linux for over 5 years now and download speeds have been consistent with every other program I run.

If this was really a 3-4 year issue for most users, it would have been a top headline on all gaming sites.

Hi its obvious that download speed are not good enough . I don't Need ANYONE TO HELP.

I want this to be FIXED. I don't know what kind of connection u have ,but if u have more than 20 mb is very CLEAR . It is limiting the download speed to like 13-15 mb. In other OS - no problem.

Yes, this should be fixed in the client, but we've got workarounds (I showed you) and shouting around here won't help you. I really propose fix your system'S DNS caching.

Obvious to who??? I just recently install Baldur's Gate 3 and Path of Exile, with no limited download speeds on either. I've been using a 100 Mbps connection or better and have never seen Steam throttling my connection.

On that note, it is possible to throttle downloads yourself in the Steam client. Any chance that has happened by mistake?

OP has got a Gbit line it seems.

Very possible. I used to have a 500 Mbps connection and it was full-speed ahead, using both Linux Mint and EndeavourOS. Since I don't dual-boot anymore, I can't test the download speeds on Windows to compare.

I read the thread you linked to above. I'd be interested to see any independent speed tests run on each system before assigning 100% blame to Steam.

i am not dual booter . i am just user of propritery garbage

I've had DNS issues in the past, so that could be a possible problem. I've been really happy with OpenDNS, but have also used CloudFlare.

I tried "tcpdump udp port 53", which according to some random Google result should show DNS queries. I did get some hundred from a download of about 1 GB - which seems to be more than needed, but IMHO shouldn't slow down downloads. Maybe there's more of them spawning on a faster line.

I have nominal gigabit fiber. I regularly see 65MB/sec on Steam downloads, which is about as fast as I've seen on other (Linux) programs, even on speed tests (my ISP may have been "optimistic"). See my profile for abbreviated system info. It doesn't appear the steam client has a universal issue that limits it to 15 MB/s

I assume you're seeing 13-15 mega bytes per second. If you're seeing 15 mega bits per second I can see why you'd be frantic.

If you are using eternet(tp cable) set full duplex with ethtools. If you are using Wifi turn off power management and profit.

I've been holding off re-downloading some of the larger games (wanted to try backup/restore -- but hitting an odd xdg-desktop-portal-kde crash trying to point the dialogue box to the directory.. oh, well) -- but this made me curious.

Gigabit or so cable internet, download speed peak around 930Mbps -- so that's reasonably in line. Rarely get the promised top speeds anyway. So sorry -- but not seeing it here.

DNS is just the junky stock Comcast ones, nothing special there either.

i HAVE 9.7 MB PEAK speed.
