Good news for Iburst users

Hey guys, steam's new downloader will support scheduled downloading, this should make downloading anything from steam during uncapped time a breeze.

Provided you wake before 8am to turn off steam, windows scheduler works just as well.

1. Buy game
2. Start game download (get passed "readying" stage)
3. Make sure Steam is set to "auto login"
4. Quit Steam
5. Set windows scheduler to start steam at 11:59
6. Sleep


In the morning, pause the update. Then in the evening re-start the download, quit steam and let windows scheduler do the rest.

Or just put midnight to 8 am into steam.

I can't seem to find that option in my steam client?

The update is still in the wings at this point, it hasn't been rolled out yet.

Holding thumbs myself.
