69How To Limit or Increase Steam Download Speeds [Tutorial]
Steam is the most popular way to download games on Windows PC. No matter the game, you can find almost all the games on Steam. The best thing about Steam is that it makes downloading, installing, and managing games a pain-free experience. Just select the game you want to download and Steam does all the work. The thing I really like about Steam is that it downloads games very fast. Most of the time, Steam will max out most home users internet bandwidth. For instance, I have a 20 Mbps connection and Steam uses all of it no problem.
If the games are small then Steam using all the bandwidth may not be a big issue. But today's games are huge, we are talking about a few 10s of gigabytes. In those situations, Steam using all the available bandwidth can really hamper your daily browsing and other internet activities. To avoid that, you can simply limit Steam download speed so that you will have spare bandwidth to browse the internet while Steam is downloading your favorite game in the background. Simply put, you get best of both worlds.
