Steam unable to update itself and deleting clientregistry.blob doesnt work?
Try this....
-Download TCPView.

-Whenever that happens, open TCPView & find Steam in the list of processes.
-Right Click, Close Connection.
-Steam will open up a new connection with (probably) a new host.
-Repeat until you get a stable download rate.
