I love my “>1 year remaining” on Steam downloads.
I love the shitty wifi in my apartment

Nothing will compare to the days of limewire where you waited two days to download a file just to find out it was mislabeled

Your wifi is shitty because you are sharinf the 2.4G/5G bandwidths with everyone in your apartment, causing interference.
Use an ethernet cable

If you have a desktop just buy a bigger antenna. If you have a laptop, just buy a an external WiFi card and attach a bigger antenna to it. If you only have a phone, then you’re shit out of luck. (I suppose that you could find an external WiFi card with Android support, plug it into the USB-C port, and then attach a bigger antenna to it)

This. Connect to a gigantic antenna via Ethernet

Usually when someone says “apartment wifi”, it’s a few wireless routers spread around the complex with no access to the ethernet ports. Which is why it tends to be shitty if your unit isn’t close to one. Hence why you need a bigger antenna.

Reminds me of exporting larger files in Windows Movie Maker back on XP.
