A large game (50GB) on Steam with average internet speed (50 Mbps) would take about 2 hours and 15 minutes to download.

Estimated Duration: 2 hours

Download time depends on file size and internet speed. For a 50GB game at 50 Mbps (megabits per second), the calculation is: (50GB * 8000) / 50 Mbps = 8000 seconds (~2.2 hours). Steam's servers, network congestion, and your hardware can slightly affect this. To speed up downloads, use a wired connection, pause other downloads, or schedule downloads during off-peak hours. Always check your actual download speed via Speedtest.net for accurate estimates.
