Restarting Steam - Restarting my PC - Deleting Clientregistry.blob - Verifying game cache - Changing my download location - Applying the Steam Beta - Deleting the game files and attempting to redownload from scratch - Running CCleaner after uninstalling Dota2 (as was suggested on some other similar forum thread). To fix corrupted game files, you can have Steam validate the game’s cache on your system. Steam will examine the game’s files and – if any problems are detected – will re-download the corrupted files from Steam’s servers. To validate a game’s cache, right-click the game in your Steam library and select Properties.

Is it possible to limit the download rate/bandwidth used by Steam in some way? When I am downloading a game it greatly slows down or even blocks all internet activities in my house.

I don't believe Valve provide an option to do that. The Connection Type setting that Corv1nus mentions appears to have no effect.
You may find it easier to install a piece of software able to rate limit other programs than to use QoS. I just tested NetBalancer (free version) with Steam on Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. If you too are using Windows 7, you can safely ignore the warning about unsigned drivers; at least you can if you trust the software publisher.

Steam Download Connection Timeout

The consensus of a somewhat rude thread on the Steam Forums is that you can't rate limit Steam from within Steam. Your options seem to be:
Steam Wont Download Game Connection Timed Out Windows 10
- Pause downloads, then start them again at a better time, say overnight.
- Limit it using the free version of NetBalancer, as Lee suggests.
- Limit it using other software, as someone suggested in the Steam Forum thread. Sadly, the program suggested is not free.

You can go into Settings >> Downloads >> Connection Type and say it is something lower than it is but, I don't know if that will limit it. You would be better off putting a bandwidth limit on your PC at the router and set up QoS.
