I'm downloading the steam updates right now, and I'm about half way through on my progress bar and it says 163 minutes to go. Thus I made this thread just for the heck of it.

Now I'll start about how much I hate rogers, even though I know the long download is because Steam must have a bazillion people downloading right now. My internet has been down for the last four and a half days and I have had to use the school computers to post. When it's not down, I can't get on because it tells me I need to buy a modem. On the rare occasions that I can get on, I can go to seven or eight pages on SnarkPit before my browser just stops loading anything on the page. (I use Opera by the way) So that's that.

Oh now, its 170 minutes! It's going up!

I recently posted something somewhere about how I thought Steam was pretty good and people should quit bityching about it. I take that all back. Steam sucks huge. This is worse than the hour download for 1.1.1.0 or something for HL1, come on three damn hours of my life wasted.

That's my rant. I hope you enjoyed it. Does anyone know if Team America World Police is rentable yet?

I'm in a bad mood, I'm using my writing as a way of venting my anger and frustration at the world. That's all for now.

If you mean the latest HL2DM updates I got mine in about 10 minutes :/ Seems to be hit and miss, and most people with problems are in the USA/Canada :sad: You must have higher loads or it coincides with school/college finishing times.

Well, i guess they have just as many mirrors as hosts that wants to give away terra bits for an ad in the steam network.

And team america world police has already been rented by some guy named
GWB, and he extended his licence for 4 years just recently, just before
it was going to expire. I guess you have to try later then!
