When your Steam download slows down, most likely, it’s because of your internet connection. Since no one wants to wait for hours for a new game to get to their Mac, let’s explore some opportunities and ways to increase Steam download speed so you can get back to gaming in no time. The problem is, most triple-A titles today not only cost a lot but weigh a lot as well - and, sometimes, Steam has been known to slow the download speed down significantly. If you’re regularly playing games on your Mac, chances are, you’re doing it through Steam - the most popular game distribution platform in the world. I'm not throttled, and can't switch between wireless to wired, but from a quick Google, others who're having the same issue, still had the problem occur when switching regardless.WiFi Explorer analyzes and troubleshoots your network. As said, I've also changed my reigion, still nothing. I usually get 100 but have seen it peak to 500, neither worked.

Tried limiting to around 100, then 500KB's. I'll post back on here again once I find some more options or possibly a solution to the issue. Check your network drivers or switch from wireless connection to wired if you use wireless. Other things you may want to do include contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Also you may want to change your download region (when in doubt go with dallas in the US). For example where I live I can only get 15 Mbps download so I have to limit the bandwidth to 512 kbps.

What I have found that the limit has to be significantly under you speeds. If you only get 15 Mbps download speeds then limit it under it. Originally posted by Chiisu:Try limiting your broadband by going to Steam > Settings > Downloads (tab) > and limit it respectfully.
