OldBloke · February 21, 2009, 06:06:10 PM

Mines working, but does that sometimes. Just need to wait or restart computer.

OK. Thanks guys. I'll try a reboot but can't see how that will change anything :eyebrow:

That would be a solution if a game doesn't start, surely?

As I'm typing this it just connected. :happy:

Mine's been taking over ten minutes :sideways:

Think I found the answer.

I've configured NOD32 as advised and, for reasons unknown, my Steam location was set to 'Thailand'.

Blunt · February 26, 2009, 03:58:25 PM

I just checked and mine was set to Germany:blink:

I have NOD32 and my location was set to UK !!

ive found that when you want to d/l a demo of say fear 2 etc the d/l rate especially at peak times can be painfully slow,

now onto my point which is related to the above, if you want to d/l a big demo at peak times go into settings and then downloads and then set your d/l server to thailand becasue they are all in bed. i did this for the empires demo and i went from 23kbs from the uk server to 490kbs from the thailand server.

just remember to turn it back to uk when you are finished
