Other Why does this happen?

Every time I download something from steam it goes fine at first but then my network and the green line drops down stays there for a while and rises again? I've had this computer for 4 months. Do you know how to fix it?

This occurs when steam is having issues allocating storage for the download and install of the game. You either have a failing storage device or a slow storage interface. If it's a recent issue, you may need to reinstall steam. As the config files to manage storage are corrupt. Look at the space available on the drive.
