Done respectfully, it can be a great way to make everybody's file arrive faster while balancing the traffic better.
- tracker1 10y agoAgreed, even if peers seed 1:1, then they are only sending out as much as they received and the servers can reach twice as many people.
- wscott 10y agoRegretfully steam does _not_ use p2p downloads. People running lan parties would be so much happier if steam would just do a lan broadcast to look for local copies of a game before downloading. (a very limited form of p2p) They already have local streaming for games so they have the infrastructure for this.
