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

first when did 4 megabits became slow? cri

second you can change your steam download region in the downloads settings. change it somewhere closer.

third perhaps your disk speed is the limiting factor.

fourth sometimes clearing the download cache helps although that'll remove all the progress on your download (obviously). it helped me a few times where the download was starting very slowly.
