Interesting

...Steam to finally implement some requested features, ?like download scheduling, bandwidth throttling, and prioritizing which games get downloaded first. You?ll also be able to download an update to a game while you?re playing that game; Steam will apply the update after you exit the game.?

real tears were produced

Can't wait for this...this is going to be extremely helpful.

 

[RezHD]

Yes. It is very very interesting.

 

[Nik :D]

Sounds pretty good.

 

[Fireskull]

Nice. Patches for some games take so long to download.

Good, the patches are a real pain sometimes. But you woulda thought they would have been smart about this and announced this before the sales.

 

[LuxSmash]

Good news

Finally makes downloading faster

This update may serve two purposes. One to obviously improve it's much needed current download system, the other maybe to compete against origin for having the better download system.
