My internet at home is usually >3mb download, >300kb upload, and rate limited at 100gb a month. Worse up/downs when it rains.
I set up a spare phone to download files to a specific folder, then automatically backup those files over LAN to my desktop at home. When I go to a friend’s house with better internet I just leave the phone there overnight. This is working for everything except my steam games, which I don’t think I can download to a phone
If I remember correctly, if you go into settings on steam in both your pc and steam deck and set them to share the downloaded games. Then just click install as per normal on your deck and instead of downloading it will automatically drag the game from Your pc. I’m sorry I can’t remember exactly but it was really simple to do and I only did it once some months ago. I only managed 36mbps over my home network but still considerably quicker than my poxy home internet
Oh shit how can you do this?
