He must have a serious connection. It's more likely he has a slow hard drive on the host or stores the data on USB2.0 connected drive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] erwan@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago Same for me, LAN is 1Gb, my internet connection is 5Gb. Of course none of the devices get more than 1Gb, but that means than LAN or Internet doesn't make a difference. Especially for Steam games that get downloaded from a very close CDN proxy (probably hosted by my own provider). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dfirebug@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago Being someone with a bad internet, this is actually quite a useful feature. It saves me from either having to set up an smb/ftp share on a computer or backing up a game to a USB drive to restore it on the other computer if I don't want to wait 10 hours for any modern game to download. permalink fedilink source parent
