(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I wanted to take advantage of the ghosts free weekend. So I started downloading it and watched a movie. My Internet is hitting around 165+ mb/s. When I got finished with my almost 2 hour movie, it was still around 15%. So the issue is, it will "pause" my download. I will upload a .gif later showing what it looks like. So the thing is, does this happen to you also? I've looked up things on this, but nothing too fix it.

It shouldn't happen unless you are playing a game on steam. Which can be changed now to have it not do that. Outside of that it could have just been on their end. Free weekends tend to tax their servers so it's not uncommon to have a crap download speed or for it to just stop.
