This contribution enhances DepotDownloader with several significant improvements:
1. DepotLayout: Separated depot files into private folders for easier deployment in 3rd party systems.
2. Bandwidth Optimization: On high speed connections , Re-download outdated files instead of patching , reducing CPU/memory load during patching.
3. Robust Utilities: Added retry logic to Utils. Used for GetDepotDecryptionKey, to prevent process failures.
4 Error Handling: entitlement/License checks — now reports issues and continues downloading remaining depots.
5. DownloadMonitor: Introduced real-time download status updates to prevent silent periods during large file handling.
