    I’ve got 2gig fiber, not 56k dialup. It’s Steam’s bandwidth now. They paid Valve their 30%. Why bother with insane compression that just makes it feel slow for us?

      That is also a factor I do not understand. Bandwidth costs the storefront money, would Steam and others not want to decrease this load? And well done you with that fiber, you dog! I also have a fiber line but see no reason to upgrade from my tariff (150mib, i think?) that covers everything just to shave that hour of download time a year.
