is your other device connected via telegraph wire?
Maybe it's the read or write speed of the drives.
The CPU on the source used for compression is definitely the bottleneck for me. Internet is faster.
I think it's because Steam compresses the data before sending it and limits CPU usage. I still use local file transfer between desktop and Steam Deck because rarely in much of a rush.
For me, it’s the same either way. I’m capped off at 120MB/sec whether LAN or internet!
Same, I'm still too cheap to upgrade the LAN to 10 Gbit/s. I could theoretically get old stuff from work, but that's all 19 inch rack mountable and loud...
