In this tutorial I will show you how to change your download region in Steam. I will also show you what to enable/disable when the updating of said downloaded games occurs.
Steps:
1. Go to Steam in the most upper left corner
2. Click Settings
3. Navigate to Downloads tab
4. Select download region at the top of the interface, choose the one that is the closest to you, preferably the region/servers with known better internet connection - that will essentially determine the speed of your download.
