Anyone experiencing slow downloads from Steam ?


I just bought The Chronicles of Riddick : Assault on Dark Athena and it is downloading it with 90 kb/s while my internet is perfectly running.


It's a pity that I'll get to play this in 1-2 days.

It goes up to 110 kb/s and then stops downloading for 3-5 minutes.

Fucking piece of shit

Ive never had any problem swith steam speads and always had 2-2,7mb/s speeds.

Then the problem is somewhere between the Steam servers and your PC, because I am getting 5x your speed.

Yeah, I also had no problems, max bandwidth for me on any server I tried.

Also: for some reason got full copy of Hard Reset for free, pretty sure no one gifted it to me.

That's funny. Smile

Oh, if you don't mind unnecessary crap installed on your system, especially some DRM ON TOP of Steam, well... it probably ain't a problem.

And we wonder why so much garbage is delivered to us. Simple: because we accept it.

You can buy it and use a crack. I use cracks with my retail-bought games all the time so that I don't have to have the DVD in the drive. I imagine most of us are doing this...?

If I was disatisfied with the DRM one of my digitally-bought games had, I would use a crack for it as well. It's the same thing, really.

In the past I've frequently had speed issues with steam, especially around sale times, but lately they've been pretty good.

I haven't really tried to download anything I bought this time as I'm still playing Skyrim.
but just for fun I'll start D/L TF2.

Nope, 11.1 MB/s seems fine

The whole Steam-shit was almost unreachable yesterday (actually the past few days) having to constantly f5 my inventory etc.

I guess the amount of freebie-hunters is insane.
