I have an average download speed of about 10MB/s yet when downloading games on Steam, I barley surpass 1MB/s download speed. I doubt this is an intended feature and I would like to utilise the download speed that I have at my disposal. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Wait, when you do a speed test on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] it tells you 10Mb/s?

Yes, that is correct. It fluctuates a little, maybe down to around 8Mbps, this is because my internet provider was bought out and the people we're with now are just making amendments and running tests ect..

Well. Speedtest shows you MEGABITS, not MEGABYTES.

MB/s = Megabytes a second.
Mb/s = Megabits a second.

As you can see, speedtest tests your internet in megabits.

8 megabits = 1 megabyte.

So, you're getting the right speed.

Better off than me, don't complain. My DL speed is 3 megabits per second.

That is odd because I get my highest download speeds via steam.

cheat engine does work, you set it to speed hack "0.2" and it will use as much internet as it can.
0.1 is everything
