Make the most of your network. Get more play for your gamers. Download your games once and serve them out to many people at your LAN.
Had never seen this service before and randomly saw it in Unraid CA now. Thought I’d share this, as it seems like a very cool project, especially for those hosting LAN parties.

By default it’s only for the the same account, but you can change it in the download settings to allow transfers to “Steam Friends” or “Anyone”.
At a big enough LAN even just getting everyone to change that setting is probably harder than setting up a central cache. Don’t underestimate the amount of people that listen to instructions, say sure and then just either not do it, or fail to do it correctly.

By default yes, but you can set it to work for anyone on your friends list.
