Under “Download Restrictions”, make sure the “Only auto-update games between:” option is unchecked and set the “Limit bandwidth to” to “No Limit”.After completing the wipe, Steam will restart, and you’ll need to log back in.
Scroll down to the bottom and click on the “CLEAR DOWNLOAD CACHE” button.Click on “Steam” among the options that run horizontally along the top of the Steam client.Try switching to a server further afield if the first switch doesn’t resolve the issue. Ideally, this will be one that isn’t too far from your current location but in a foreign country.
From the “Download Region” drop-down menu, select an alternative region. In settings, click on “Downloads” from the list on the left-hand side.
Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu. Click on Steam among the options that run horizontally along the top of the Steam client. As that seems like the only way to have a bit of control over downloads.Īpparently they're also working on a new settings page too, although not easily accessed. Although, that might only be an issue for people like me, who set Steam to only download between super-late hours to prevent it just auto updating everything all the time. Hopefully Valve will finally add a "Download All" button, so we don't have to keep pressing download on individual items to queue them up. This is what I see which has a few adjustments but not quite the overhaul as seen above: So they're clearly not quite ready to roll it out just yet. Trying it myself sort-of gives me it, but not quite and this was tested across both the Stable and Beta versions of Steam. Weirdly though, it's not the same for everyone. It seems it's supposed to look something like this (thanks to Pavel Djundik of SteamDB on Twitter): That's set to change, although we don't know when, you can test it yourself right now if you go to " steam://nav/library/downloads". It does the job, sure but it could be a lot more useful. The Downloads page in the Steam client hasn't really been touched for a long time.
Now that the dust has settled on the new Steam Library design, along with various other UI overhauls like the Properties page for games (and the recent SteamPal console leaks) - Valve will be fixing up the Steam Downloads page now too.
