Hey guys, I saw on other forum this thread and was curious to see your opinions.
So I was wondering what do you guys like to do while Steam is using all of your internet bandwidth downloading a game?

Steam doesn't use all of my bandwidth (not even close), so I pretty much just do whatever, including download other games from other places like Desura...

Huh? I do the same things I do at any other time. Downloading doesn't alter the rest of my life.

It barely uses my bandwidth. I either play LoL(40-50 ping when downloading).. or chatting, steamtrades, youtube.. etc

Downloads usually only take but a few minutes, even for games that weight double digit GBs, so I just breathe a bit.

Play some offline or single-player games. I usually turn my PC off at night so I can only download stuffs while playing.

I play other games on Steam.

Pro Tip: Start your download as normal. Once you start another game on Steam alt-tab out, pause, and then resume your download then alt-tab back in. Hey presto! Steam downloads while you play Steam games.

I usually download a small game, 1 gb or less that's really fun. And I play that game while downloading my other big games.
