Re: Peering and Caching for Epic Games, Fortnite, et al

Hey!  
I know at least for Valve, you can set up a Steam Caching Server, and say do the top 100 games or whatnot and update it 
every week or so, that might put you in the right direction. LTT did a good video on this a few years ago, and they 
also posted this guide on their forums to assist with getting one set up.

I’ve set up two or three for various larger scale LAN parties, as well as run one at home.  Feel free to ping me 
offline if you want a hand or talking it over!

Thanks Much,
