It always defaults to 64kbps which suggests an average game download will take days And let's be honest, if that's really your connection speed, you probably shouldn't be downloading games on steam.
I know exactly what my connection speed is, and before starting the download, it shows the file size, but I shouldn't have to pull out a calculator to figure out how long it'll take. Every other download client since about the s has this feature yet Steam doesn't? I just don't get it. I understand removing the automatically calculated stuff as the default settings because all the n00bs were complaining that it was never accurate.
But it really wouldn't be hard to ask the user to input it, or if they really have no idea, to click a button that says "let Steam figure it out based on the average speed of the last 3 downloads" or something. It does have it somewhere I've seen it and changed it before.
I just can't remember where. I cant find the stting iether. Spielosoph View Profile View Posts. Thank You very much!
