Can I download Steam Games to a USB and install them when I get home?

[MashupMark]

I have terribly slow internet at my home. I have great internet at my parents house. Is it possible to download my games to a USB at my parents house and bring them home and install them on my home computer?

The computer is large and I can't carry it to my parents house.
I have read about installing steam to a USB, but this doesn't seem practical when playing the games from a slower USB device when I get home.

Any ideas?

Move both game folder and it's appmanifest.acf file to USB.
Then on your PC exit Steam, move folder and acf file to your PC and launch Steam.

yeah its possible and i do almost all the time all u have to do is place where you steam directory is
for example.
K:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common

I wouldn't say they expire, but keep them updated. I stupidly thought steam backups were good forever, and found out I was wrong when I went to restore them. Thankfully I had good internet at the time.

I mean NOW, when steam updates every time I start my computer, it's not much of a surprise. But at the time? Severely unwelcome surprise.
