That ping and jitter is terrible. The A. By David Murphy. Photo: Shutterstock Shutterstock. Screenshot: Jon Meleshenko. Signal strenght if using Wi-Fi, supported Wi-Fi speeds and bandwiths, download server, everything matters.
Also different devices will have different top speeds. A hardwired PC and a wifi connected cell phone will have drastically different top speeds. I've read all three responses and I still don't understand why that would make my download speeds slower.
It seems like the everything other than the download portion of the steps you listed will be a lot faster with a small file I'm using an SSD btw and I don't see how a small file would limit my internet speed.

Steam server speeds have nothing to do with file size, and everything to do with network throttling on Steams part, and I've tested and verified this over several downloads with different sized games and at different times.
I'm not sure if this is the same issue you're having, but for me, I can have Steam server download speeds that peak out around MB's, then drop to MB's or less even in the kb range! The only reason for that is either deliberate throttling of speeds by Steam in order to control server loads, or they are having intermittent server problems in their network. Not to mention the "preallocating" crap, a few times it literally takes an hour or more before it finally stops that and begins the actual download, at other times it takes seconds, even though the game is much larger than the ones that took far longer; they were installed on the same SSD, which has TB's of free space.
As for transfer speed of multiple smaller files vs large files, on modern networks the overhead of the additional packet headers is virtually insignificant, especially files that small, so that would be highly unlikely to have an impact, especially on gigabit-level networks, besides, as I read it your having the issue with individual small files, not many at once, so the network overhead wouldn't be the issue in any event.
