I like the feature a lot but it's actually faster for me to just download over the internet.

Being someone with a bad internet, this is actually quite a useful feature. It saves me from either having to set up an smb/ftp share on a computer or backing up a game to a USB drive to restore it on the other computer if I don't want to wait 10 hours for any modern game to download.
