About Steam download throttled
The bottom of the window. Ensure that bandwidth limiting is not checked, and also that auto-update time is disabled as well. Resetting the application While resetting the application to default values within the settings is an option, we haven’t found any increase in download speeds to merit that action. Instead, opt for the tried-and-true tech technique of turning it off and on again. Once Battle.net is closed, verify it’s fully shut down within your Task Manager. Once verified that it has completely shut off, turn it back on and check to see if your download speeds have increased. Possible fixes outside of Battle.net The culprit of your slow Battle.net speeds could be local instead of on Battle.net. If prior troubleshooting hasn’t borne fruit, you may want to peek at your PC to ensure you aren’t accidentally choking your own download rates. Verify no other downloads are running Presuming that you have a solid grasp on your computer, checking to ensure that no background downloads are choking out your speeds should be relatively simple. Check Steam, Discord, and Chrome for the usual suspects in terms of eating through bandwidth. Windows Updates have also gotten more aggressive recently — disabling Windows Updates (and completing them manually) should suffice to ensure you aren’t being unintentionally throttled. Don’t attempt downloads during peak hours The final attempt prior to reaching out to Battle.net support staff is to ensure you aren’t trying to download during peak hours. These peak times naturally hold a lot of server-side

When downloading any game or update through battle net, the download is throttled to bytes per second, which is unacceptable for games/patches of the modern era. Why has this not been fixed or even acknowledged by this point? I have seen many posts in that past about this same issue, but no comments or any future fix plans have been talked about. It is honestly infuriating as I have great internet and a drive that will download steam games in minutes rather than the hours/nights that it takes to download updates through blizzard. You likely have something blocking Bnet or throttling it. I get 30 Mb/sec when downloading updates or new installs. I would like to say that in these cases it varies heavily between an okay download speed of about 50 mbps for some of the download and then quickly dropping down to the kbps to bps speeds. Also this has been common with friends who live in the area as well, while other friends who live in different regions seem to not have as many issues. So it’s likely the ISP or a hop they use for routing. Which ISP is it? In this case I have multiple friends in the region with different ISP’s who have had the same problem. I have seen other posts on the forums complaining about slow download speeds which seems to be the same issue I have Some issues have been reported through the ISP, but one thing that hampers speeds is VPN’s. Turned off for downloads, release IP and reconnected, speeds back to normal.
