Steam Settings should remember limited download speed after toggling

Surprisingly, EGL has implemented that simple feature properly

Like a sizeable portion of users, my internet connection is less than sufficient. I can get a maximum of ~10 Mbit/s downstream, which effectively is about 1.2 MB/s. When I download a game with tens of gigs of data during daytime, I limit the download speed to 800 KB/s so that me and my family can still use the internet. Over night, when nobody is occupying the connection, I want to use the full potential and toggle the download speed limit off. When I toggle it back on, I have to type in a new limit every single time. Oh no, the horror! I know it's nothing drastic, but it's one of the most basic 'quality of service' features there is. If Epic Games can do it, Valve can also add a couple lines of code

We've been asking for ages. Maybe one day.

I've used minor tables to store & retrieve basic information before doing everything else down the line. Simple db check, apply user setting if existing, if null do nothing - for each time the client starts. Entry/Update when an entry is done, delete or set to null when the user deletes an option.

Very minor amount of coding, for example I use a first DB check to prevent loading absolutely everything else if maintenance mode is active which is a single table, replacing it with a maintenance notice.

People over-estimate the amount of code needed to do absolutely basic stuff. Else, since other settings pre-exist and are stored, it's just adding a very minor amount of additional lines of code to match the other check/set/store/delete or default lines of code for settings.
