Guys, my download speed is super loving slow, how can I get it faster?

[HellHound]

Right now I'm downloading Team Fortress 2 and my download speed is 3.5 kb/s when my peak is 4.4 mb/s, estimated time left: 17 hours x minutes.

I can't wait this long, how can I get it faster?
Sometimes it will go into bytes/s

Go on steam.
Click the steam button (top left corner)
Settings, downloads + Cloud
Download Region (Set this to the place closest to you.)

It requires a restart, but it should help. It helped me :P.

The Steam servers are busy cause of the Pyromania update, so that could be factoring in to the slow speeds.

Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
I'm pretty certain everyone's dl speed is slow for the Tf2 update.

But it's downloading.

Same for me. Just lost connection to steam.
Possibly a coincidence but I dunno.
