[SOLVED] Very slow steam downloading speed

Hello, everyone. I've just installed steam, but downloading speed is really slow. I'm pretty sure that it's some kind of software problem. I've already tried setting up dnsmasq, and it seem to work. But it didn't solved my problem

Internet speed is fine too.

Hosted by ... [0.61 km]: 7.959 ms
Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 65.30 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed......................................................................................................
Upload: 80.63 Mbit/s

Here's screenshot from steam:

I use NetworkManager. I have same downloading speed with Ethernet and WiFi, here are relevant hardware specs:
