Downloading a steam game in cyber cafe.

[Mang Tani]

Im having a trouble right now, in internet, yes im living in stone age. But i come up in another idea, is to download steam games in cyber cafe and i've read number of articles/discussions/sites in order to download cyber cafe. But it's too long. Do you have any ideas? im using laptop by the way and i cant find a spot to download the game. HALP.

you can download the games in cyber cafe and export to your computer.

What ideas do you need?

1. Go to café
2. Start Steam
3. Log in (check "do not store account credentials on this computer" in settings)
4. Download your game
5. Go to Steam -> Backup and restore
6. Save the game to a pendrive
7. Restore at home using the same backup utility

Note that you need to launch every game online first, so it won't work on a computer that has no internet connection at all, ever. After initial launch, you can go offline.

Also note that downloading on windows and restoring to linux won't restore all files, so a small download will always be required.

But can i back up the file in hard drive disk w/o the steam file? because it says that you need the steam file and my hdd's pretty small, or can i just copy the steamapps?
