Thanks for your fast reply, and sorry for my late response. |

The original is described as: Steam starts with a fast download speed, |
| 4 |
and eventually goes down, even to 0 (which is probably caused by a bug |
| 5 |
in Steam Linux client). |

Just installing dnsmasq *does* solve the problem. And it did on my side. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Also this link https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam/Client_troubleshooting |
| 12 |
mentioned the same method. (See section "Slow download speeds"). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
However, my current problem is that when downloading Civilization V the |
| 15 |
problem comes back (unstable speed, sometimes down to 0 KB/s), while |
| 16 |
downloading CS:GO is acceptable high speed 4MB/s. |
| 17 |
(Yes, ISP here is rather slow...My bandwidth is only 30 or 50 Mbit I |
| 18 |
don't remember.) |
| 19 |
|

dnsmasq is up, and downloading from other sources (browser, emerge etc) |
| 21 |
is definitely fast. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I suspect it is a problem of Steam client... |
