apologies for poor picture, was redownloading ETS2 and the speed is baffling to look at. What causes steam’s download speed to be horrendous?

What kind of speed do you get on fast.com? You sure it's not just your pipe?
around 140mbps according to both fast and speedtest.net
I usually get around 10% of my speedtest speed in my steam downloads, and that’s with a M.2 NVME.
What kind of hard drive do you have? Solid state or disk? You could be write buffer constrained.
actually that might be it, it’s a pretty shit laptop but can run a few games with the lowest graphics settings possible obviously. Just now, the speed has shot back up out of nowhere
