			Still a thing in 2026, I fixed it with this nixos option: <code>services.dnsmasq.enable = true;</code>

			====== ======= ======
			Worked also for me. Download rate increased from ~100 MBit to ~950 Mbit. Maybe it's worth mentioning. To add <code>services.dnsmasq.enable = true;</code>

			It seems Windows does cache DNS, so Windows Steam users are not affected, when Steam does a DNS requests for every chunk to download. Maybe the reason, it's not fixed yet, or never will get fixed.

			cheers
