I have reported the issue to my ISP and will get back to them in a few days.
#WHY DOES MY STEAM DOWNLOAD KEEP GOING TO 0 BYTES PC#
However, having experienced something similar before (i.e. some sites not loading for a specific ISP), I finally tried connecting my PC to my mobile wifi (which is from another provider, Globe) and poof, the Disk Usage (and download speed) shot up! Without closing the Steam application, I reconnected to the DSL wifi and as expected, Disk Usage went down to zero (with d/l at a few kb/s only). The problem was not apparent: was returning proper speeds and pings, regular browsing was fine too. Yes, the fault was at my broadband provider’s side (PLDT myHome DSL). Fortunately, I was able to find the issue, that’s why I’m sharing it here. It was quite frustrating that while there were other similar experiences, I was unable to find the fix or explanation to the problem I encountered.

Never seen this before - have a different torrent going at the same time (from the same originator) with no. High DL speed but completed bytes stays between 10 and 24MB, going back and forth. Of course, I was Googling my way throughout the entire ordeal. Edit: Went to a different source for the same torrent, removed torrent and data from the old one and restarted from the different source - same issues. Unfortunately, all of these did not fix the problem. Also when I hover my mouse pointer to the battery icon, it shows a different percentage from that when I click on it. In these moments of slowness if I run a ping test to the first hop outside. Some days far worse than others to the point that it’s practically unusable. I’ve been having an issue with my internet where it randomly becomes extremely slow multiple times throughout the day. I can't turn it back unless I plug it my charger, and the battery turns to 10. Internet slows to 0.5Mbps, randomly and frequently throughout the day. While in the process of reformatting, I checked and redid the hardware connections too. When I don't charge my laptop and the battery go below 35, the laptop just shuts down on its own. After more troubleshooting on other components (USB wifi, LAN, drivers, etc) finally, it boiled down to reformatting my OS HDD, suspecting that some Windows registries got messed up when that HDD, which also had applications, died. First thing I suspected was a bad disk, given that the HDD containing my Steam directory died around the same time (still trying to recover that). I tried reinstalling the Steam client again and again, including on different HDDs on my PC, but the problem persisted.

These past few days, I suddenly noticed that my Steam client’s download “Disk Usage”stats was zero or had very low bytes. Aha, almost had no post for 2016! Actually, I’m writing another entry, but this should be quicker.
