I like the feature a lot but it's actually faster for me to just download over the internet.
is your other device connected via telegraph wire?
Nah, usually WiFi but I have tried both being connected via ethernet. It's possible the bottleneck is either devices CPU or something as it maxes out at around 600 Mbit/s compared to over 2000 Mbits/s over internet.
I think it's because Steam compresses the data before sending it and limits CPU usage. I still use local file transfer between desktop and Steam Deck because rarely in much of a rush.
