    This is just because the Steam Servers are sooo good ^^
    When I download on Steam it goes 3min for 2GB or something like that.

    Yes, the steam servers magically increase the bandwidth between my house and my provider, too

    I was about to comment 'oh steam can go much faster than that, I can get 7+mb/s at good times'.... But when I saw it, I shat bricks

    Isn't this just an artifact? I.e. back in win98, on starting a file download it would start downloading before the dialogue box appeared. Then, when the dialogue box appeared, it would count the data already downloaded as having downloaded immediately, and say "downloading at 100Mbytes/second," (or something like that) and then slowly decrease to the good old 6kb/s or whatever.

    I dunno... 3 billion GB/s seems like more than 900 Mb/s...
