I just configured the container on a new system but can't get download speeds above 1MB/s in Steam, so games are taking hours to download.
Things I have checked:
- The container is using the host network (I've also tried bridge and custom)
- The container has download speed of 500+ MB/s using in-browser speed test
- No download throttling in Steam settings
- Closest server in Steam setting chose (tried a few others, too)
- Bench-marked the disks the container is running from and where the game library is writing to (both read/write were within expected ranges)
- Two other devices on my network, using my steam account, using the same server, have download speeds of 80+ MB/s
- Steam library is configured to write to /mnt/games:/mnt/user/games
I've tried completely removing the container and reinstalling it a couple times, trying different cache pools. Nothing seems to change.
I know it's probably some mistake I've made somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look next.
What could be causing such poor download performance in Steam?
