Re: Very long download times,
50GB over five hours is about 22Mbs. I suspect you are looking at Steam reporting a download speed in MBs (megabytes per second) rather than Mbs (megabits per second)

Re: Very long download times,
22Mbs from 100Mbs at the Hub wouldn't be unexpected over local wireless: all WiFi is zero Mbs on the other side of a few walls.
For an ethernet connection one would probably suspect the limit is bandwidth sharing at the server end: Valve doesn't permit users on faster connections to saturate their home bandwidth at the expense of other users, particularly if there's a big new distribution going out globally.
