I have been going crazy rebooting my machine, router, modem, killing steam and today I got frustrated enough to google. Downloading a new game knocks me off line. games using the sync feature knock me offline. Playing a game sometimes knocks me offline
Praise pancake this seems to be working... so far...

I'm glad you solved it, but how is that Steam throttling your connection?

No idea. But Steam was the common denominator. I'd it was because of large downloads but I do other large downloads through other means it's never been a problem. Of course Steam was never a problem until a couple of months ago either.

For any curious, if the source vanishes...
Also try:Check your steam download settings (Right click your steam icon and go to settings)
Go to Downloads
You may well have a tick in the box next to "Throttle downloads while streaming" because it's there by default
- Control Panel
- Network and Internet
- Network and Sharing Center
- Change Adapter Settings
- Right click your connection and select Properties
- There are two tabs: "Networking" and "Sharing"
- Go to the Sharing Tab
- In my computer I saw the "Allow other network users to control or disable..." ticket but couldn't undo it therefor I did what user ethantokes recommended, tick the first one, undo the other one and voilá, it was done.
