Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Nov 7 2019, at 23:57:46
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (with HWE - 5.0.0-32-generic)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have to disable IPv6 system wide to allow steam download at max speed (20 MiB/s) and to let connect to the Friends network.

If I don't disable IPv6 I have to retry connect to friends network twice or three times and the downloads speeds keep oscillating between 10 MiB/s to 100 KiB/s.
As soon as I disable IPv6, the download speed go back up to 20 MiB/s.

My ISP is not capping IPv6 connections (tested with Firefox and other software).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open the steam client and observe described behaviour
  2. Disable IPv6
  3. Download speeds go as intended
