Yeah, I've noticed that. I don't know why they do that, it's annoying. If I can download a game in a half hour I'd like it in a half hour, not next Tuesday, please.
- MrDresden 5y agoI wonder if this is due to MS hosting their content at fewer datacenters and thus needing to balance the data flow to each user better. Valve has boxes hosted at many ISPs around the world and so each location could have lower usage numbers, thus less need to throttle. Pure speculation though.
