(Also: from what I've seen, Steam is still suspending downloads when you start a game... this has been suggested on SPUF like ages ago.) 2012/2/18 E3pO <[email protected]> > Maybe a reputation system could be put into place and allow users to seed > their files to other users. imagine if every single steam client was set to > seed....
