I have recently started to re download my Steam library after my operating system decided to go kaput
The only problem I have is the speed. Every time I go on Steam, the best speed I see is about 200.0KB/s Other downloads are fine and download at about 650 - 700KB/s, it is just Steam that doesn't want to download at those speeds. Is it that Steam downloads get limited? Is it traffic management?
I am on Plusnet Unlimited btw :).

Steam should run at line speed. We've just been testing it and we get line speed. Is it wired or wireless? Is someone else using your network at the same time? Is something else running on your computer at the same time?

FWIW, I've just opened Steam on my home machine and it started downloading three game updates at line speed (Extra)...

Yes, but that shouldn't affect it. I tried downloading kaspersky antivirus trial and I got max speed (~600KB/s)
Is someone else using your network at the same time?
Just me on at the moment.
Is something else running on your computer at the same time?
I shut down all other programs open that would access the internet.
Cheers
When I stated a steam download yesterday, for 5 minutes it is at 600KB/s and then it drops down to 200KB/s for the rest of the time
