Total time remaining of all current downloads

[Eldin]

We already have Time Remaining for game that's currently downloading. But it would be nice if Steam gave us estimated time remaining for all games in download queue and their total download size.

It would be very useful when we're downloading multiple games at the same time, and when there are multiple games that need to be updated.

I'm currently downloading 268 games and would really like to know how much time will it take to download everything.
Steam allocated 1.8 TB of HDD space, but that's much more than download size.
If I want to calculate remaining time, I'd have to add up download sizes of all games one by one.

Steam has no way of knowing how long its actually going to take because peoples net connections are always going up and down in speed.

It can only show the estimated time remaining on what you are downloading now at the speed you are downloading now.

How many ticked off people do you think there will be when their 5 downloads takes 10 hours to download instead of the 5 hours it was saying because it was based off of what ever you set your max amount to.

Also because lots of people just set it to download at what ever the max speed is, Steam has no idea what your actual top speed is, so anyone who can download at over 25 megabits per second would not get an accurate time.

Just let it download, it will be done when its done.

That's exactly what I need, but for all games in queue.
How long will it take to download all games in queue if they download at current average speed the whole time.

Man, I wish this existed because I'm downloading all my games on my new computer and I'd like to know how long it takes
