I'm experiencing slow downloads while trying to get games from Steam on both my SSD and HDD. After the downloads finish, it says the files are corrupted, even though I checked the drives and they seem fine. I also tried downloading a game from another platform, and while that game downloaded slowly, it did complete. I've attempted a few solutions like clearing the download cache and even reformatting my drives, but nothing worked. Both drives were functioning perfectly just two days ago, and I didn't download anything during that time. Any advice would be appreciated, as I'm not very tech-savvy.

It sounds like a potential connectivity issue rather than a problem with your drives. Have you ruled out your internet connection? Those slowing downloads could be due to network problems instead.
Also, I noticed that it downloaded well when I switched to downloading directly to Windows.

I actually tested it with a different internet connection and it was still slow.
