For one, sometimes when I download a game, it will start out at decently high speeds, at about 20 MB/s, and monitoring through Steam, I see that it suddenly stops, and then instantly drops to 3 MB/s. Not only that, but my brother, in the same house, on the same network, both of us using wired connections, gets much faster downloads than I do. Also, the entirety of the Steam folder can simply be copied to a new machine and Steam will rebuild its registry entries and run perfectly fine without having to download much of anything at all. Well, if you’re facing this issue, we do have a solution that you guys can try out in order improve these speeds. Without further ado, let’s take a look at how to increase download speeds in Steam: Changing Server Region For Faster Steam Downloads. Changing the server region should make sure to increase download speeds in Steam. Steam can download a 50gb game in like 5 min, but a 23gb game on origin is taking 5 hours??? And I know the servers are not flooded as nobody really uses origin, and its like this all the time. All ports are open for origin, open on all firewalls, and running as administrator.
