Just start the download and go to sleep, it'll be finished in the morning.

I've gotten about 2 MB/s from Steam in the early morning. Only 1 MB/s in the busy hours.

HL2 only took an hour to hour n half on campus, and that was at like 5pm-ish

i just keep getting "server is busy"

just keep clicking?

That sounds odd, this is even after you've restarted Steam?

10/30/2007 4:36:13 AM

yes

Grab it by its haunches and... you know what to do with it.

lol...is this an old thread? I haven't experienced problems downloading from steam in a long long time. There isn't even a major release today...

10/31/2007 3:18:09 PM

yeah. i don't seem to have problems downloading on Steam. I have had problems in the past and a restart/update would fix those issues.

Just make sure you don't have a router/firewall blocking necessary ports. Although, despite what they say on their support forms, I've never had to configure port forwarding of any sort to get Steam to download stuff properly.

the sooner you start it the sooner it will finish.

10/31/2007 3:34:47 PM

i can DL at like .5mb/sec the problem is getting it to connect

Did you e-mail the support dudes at steam about this yet?

Maybe they know.

I have always been able to get steam to connect and download. Maybe not very fast all the time, but it works every time for me.

Steam update today, mentions it'll improve connectivity issues.
