Possible to get a friend to download games for me?
I have a terrible download speed, to the point where it takes me 2-3 days to download a game.
So is it possible to get a friend to download a game (that we both own) and then i get a portable harddrive with a copy of the file for the game.
I then just copy the file to my steamapps folder and do the detect/fake download thing.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work unless some of the files were specific to an account?
Any ideas?
Steam is an online service that allows you to download video games for personal computers. These are games which are normally only purchasable in stores, but Steam allows you to acquire them directly, as well as to join an online community of players with the same game. Buying and downloading games is quite simple once you have a Steam account.
Create a Steam account from the official website, and download the official Steam client (see Resources below).
Search for the game you want to purchase. Most can be found by title, but you can also locate games that are similar to those you already enjoy by clicking on the 'Browse Games' options at the left of the Steam client.
Click on 'Add Game' once you have found a game you want to purchase. This will take you to the checkout screen.

Go to the 'Downloads' tab on the Steam client. Right-click on the game to see your options. You can start and stop the download pause it at any point, and even download deleted games you've purchased previously. Note that once you buy a game through Steam, you can download it as many times as you want in the future in case you delete it or buy a new computer.
