How to download big amount of games with low capacity data?
Hello, I have a lot of Steam games I can't download due to my data capacity. Is there some sort of service where you can pay someone to download something for you they transfer to you via hard drive or something?

You can use your steam login on any device in the world.
Steam can be installed and run on any computer. Make sure you download content for Windows if you have windows yourself. If you own a mac, you need a mac to login on steam to download mac content.

PC or Laptop?

PC:
Get an external USB/SATA HDD, only install steam on that drive..
Go to someone who has highspeed internet, plugin your external HDD and login to your steam account. Download your games. Back at home, you can transfer the steam folder on external HDD to your computer.

Laptop: Just take it with you. Login in steam and proceed to download stuff.


Not sure what you mean by a 'service'. Maybe we should invest in mobile hotspots that can be rented to drive thru the street like an icecream van.

For service, I meant as in some place where you can use someones internet for to download data for money. Like the guy mentioned above, internet cafe. My friends all have similar data plans and get capped quite fast. I'm not sure about internet cafe and if they have fast internet or will allow me to download over 50GB unless they restrict the amount of data you have.

I'm not sure how many people from Melbourne (AUS) are active on steam forums, but you should ask these kind of questions on forums dedicated to your subject.

Melbourne boards/subreddits (reddit.com)/ visit the actual internet cafe's and ask these questions. They provide much better answers than a wild guess from Europeans who don't have any experience with such restrictions on amount of data.

I know what you need to do, but the place you should go to? Only a fellow from Melbourne knows how to answer these questions if experienced. I don't have that experience, sorry.
