@Skud according to the observations I made over time, when one clicks resume all the download with biggest size gets maximum bandwidth followed by lesser. Also I have never managed to download more than 3 games.
I dont think we can tweak it around much can we?

You don't have to worry about that. Game will update itself before even starting.

True. How I wish there was a real option for single player games to run without having to be patched. This and the offline mode are two of Steam's biggest downsides, in my opinion. Luckily, I have had access to internet connections with enough bandwidth for this to not be a gamebreaker, but for many people, this will mean that they just can't play the game that they bought.
PS: I am glad the Company of Heroes hasn't been updated for a year. It required almost a full re-download of the game!

Yea, but even though I'm on a 2mbps connection, updating TF2 almost daily is really annoying.

No. I just started mine and was connected within a few seconds.
EDIT: Unless you are on a really slow connection, as mentioned in the post above this.

Steam signs in using your account and checks updates on the sever before starting so it may take time..

For new members, steam always takes long times to start, I don't know why. It takes lesser time later on. Confirmed from Reliance 2G netconnect.

I tried downloading Free Metro 2033 game from Nvidia's Facebook promotion. everything worked fine untill Steam went on to update itself. I got an error: Unable to update. Make sure you have a working internet connection.
Now, i access the internet through my college LAN which works on proxies. Is there a way to use that proxy settings in steam or an offline steam installer to download the game?
