Basically:

imagine you're downloading something at it'll keep your Wi-Fi occupied for 1 hour, after that you'd want to have Steam start downloading something like, for example, Path of Exile 2 (almost 100 GBs); to not kill your ability to navigate and slow-down both downloads, it'd be nice to have a feature where you can simply set up a "Download in 1/2/3... hours" and then go to work, to the gym, to have a drink, and come back with the download already completed and your game ready to be played.

This would be different to the normal queue for downloads we have since it allows you to queue a download even if you have nothing downloading on Steam at that moment.

You can simply set up a time or an amount of time after which the download will start and then come back and reap the benefits.

It's basically an expansion on a pre-existing feature to make it even better to use for the consumers and streamline the UI so it's not as confusing as it is now.

[Simply, right click a game (or other software) in your library and choose "Queue download at specific time" then choose "the time (according to your local timezone) at which the download will start" and that's it.]

[The download will appear in your downloads section, if you want for something else to start downloading immediately, just download it normally.]

[If due to Wi-Fi issues or because it was a very large filesize, the other download finishes AFTER the time you had set up for the other download to start, we can have two scenarios:

A. Steam allows the download you wanted to start immediately to finish first and then start the one you had set up to start later;

B. Steam pauses the download you had starting immediately, starts the one you had set up to start at that precise time, let's it finish, then resumes the other download.

Both would work, even though, due to making things fair, if we can have only one, I think scenario B should be how overlapping downloads should be handled by Steam.

Hopefully we can choose either of them on a case by case scenario.]

That's all. I tried to explain the feature as well as I could and cover scenarios where it might be useful and where there might be issues of sorts due to multiple downloads (scheduled or not).

I'm curious to read your thoughts on this matter and I thank you for reading so far.
