No i am not reffering to the late release of L4D2 demo

ALL Of my games refuse to restore, disc 7 was blank and i tried to do champions online seperatly as a trial, but alas that failed too with another disc gone in the trial.

Now accepting donations of games i have in back-up form via post from you guys.

Failing that im aiming to download Killing floor and L4D2 demo tonight, maybe champions online too. Then L4D and probably somethign else. Then i need to download when i can but dad's already telling me i cannot download overnight everynight.....plus what will my IP think of a 130GB download to one place in a month or so ^_^.

As I know your internet is at the same speed as my home one, I am pretty sure your ISP will not give a damn as long as your internet is unlimited. I'm pretty sure fair use policies are only really relevant when you have bleeding fast internet and can affect other customers negatively.

It will take you a long time to download all this. Does your Dad mean you cannot leave the PC downloading overnight, or that you will not get everything overnight?

If the latter, simply prioritise. It will a few weeks though, depending on the number and size of the games, and whether you can leave the PC on overnight.

not true mets, so not true fair useage is a <FEMALE DOG> and a half

yeah i'd only download for say every other night and i'd be pushing their wrath

Your internet is not 512k.



Also, Kyle, next time, I recommend just burning the GCF files and COMMON folders to dvd's. It's really not worth the hassle of using the Steam backup feature. Once you've done this, and reinstalled Steam, simply load it up, right-click install the game, then close Steam, paste in the files, restart and it should work. It might have to download a few more things, but it would save a lot of time.

7XXk and i concur

If you don't have any way of getting it working, I suggest digging out the disks of any games you have to speed up the process.

copy the files off the disc. They dont work if you run setup from the disc itself.

yeah met said earlier, skillers thats saints row 2, empire total war, DOW 2 and L4D. the rest must be DL'd. How do you know i do not have 512?

That was to Nannal. You told me your internet was 512k on Steam.

One of his disks is blank, therefore he doesn't have all he needs.

FFS more goes wrong.

How can my PC download 6GB last night after i left it on to download L4D2 and killing floor. However L4D2 only gained 11% and killing floor still hasn't started?!

I left them all night and download was constant that doesn't make sense.

Ok I found out the HDD was still set too turn off after 20 minutes. So that explains why it isn't done. Doesn't explain 6GB of download though.

That happened to my EQ2 download once... I realised straight away... ah, damn power options.

i know, total nuisence right?

L4D2 Demo 36%
Killing Floor 8%

Going to angel chef now hope to have one or both done/nearly done when i return, but i doubt it.

sorry for double post rushing out, L4D2 is not updating due to 'Steam servers are too busy try again later' grrr

Hope it doesn't inturrupt Killing floor any more if stop it pre-loading for now.

tell it you're from Vietnam! (settings, somewhere, drop down menu)

Have good om nom.

I did this last night to download the Company of Heroes update. Also told a person on my course to do it as he had a lot of stuff to download.

It won't be too long til they start implementing location awareness.

and 'till then we have no worries

Woo i have killing floor! and saints row......

Empire total war is installed but needs to update, Left for dead is next on dis installation but will need to be updated also.

Gonna try for L4D2 Demo for tomorrow....
