steam download times

Post » Tue Dec 08, 2015 1:15 am

Hi everyone,I recently bought fallout 4 on steam and am downloading it now, however the speeds are terrible. It's going at 300-500kb/s. Is this the same for other people? the game is already unlocked in my area (Australia) but at this rate I won't be able to play it until tomorrow morning. Thanks for any help!

You can set the download to higher speed, I dl with 2 mb/s.

It's somewhere in your settings, just set it to unlimited speed.

edit:It's in Steam > Settings > Downloads > Don't limit bandwith.

How is this even possible? The game doesn't unlock in NZ for another 35 minutes.
