For the last 24 hours I've been unable to get the new SDK update as it keeps telling me "The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes," despite the Steam status page saying all the European servers are fine. Anyone else had this problem?

And I read somewhere that this update is over 100mb. If so, f**k you Valve for shafting all us 56k-modem-mappers. I don't need to re-upload megabytes of info every time I want to change a small part of this website...

I've only just finished downloading mine

It includes faceposer thingy for all ye who yearn for it

Here's another mind-blower: when i try to start hammer, i get an error message saying steam is busy and that i should try later. Can anyone PLEASE enlighten me on this one?

Guess what: i had some mapping to do aswell. But noooo, i have to wait (urm, how much was that again? another 122minutes and 17 seconds?) for a f**king update I DIDN'T REQUEST! They can keep it, i don't want it, yet they shove it down my throat. Happy day!

[edit (added 30 seconds later)]

Ohh, lookie: it says 522 minutes and 125 seconds! And note that I have a 100mbps connection. Slightly slow, but not like this!

Damn i feel for you guys, I got it in 27 minutes
