Thanks for your fast reply, and sorry for my late response. The original is described as: Steam starts with a fast download speed, and eventually goes down, even to 0 (which is probably caused by a bug in Steam Linux client).
>From this link: http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/2/616189106498372437/ Just installing dnsmasq *does* solve the problem. And it did on my side. Also this link https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam/Client_troubleshooting mentioned the same method. (See section "Slow download speeds"). However, my current problem is that when downloading Civilization V the problem comes back (unstable speed, sometimes down to 0 KB/s), while downloading CS:GO is acceptable high speed 4MB/s. (Yes, ISP here is rather slow...My bandwidth is only 30 or 50 Mbit I don't remember.) dnsmasq is up, and downloading from other sources (browser, emerge etc) is definitely fast. I suspect it is a problem of Steam client... Danny On 2017-03-15 13:48, Nils Freydank <nils.freyd...@posteo.de> wrote: > Hi guy, > > Am Mittwoch, 15.
