Groovy. Wonder just how colossal the CS:S download will be though.

DuVeL · August 11, 2004, 09:44:22 AM

That's gonna be 1 big queu. I hope they can handle it.

Gh0st Face Killah · August 13, 2004, 03:15:33 PM

Very unlikely. Look how much steam grinds to a halt when there is a big update.

Dr Sadako · August 13, 2004, 04:05:58 PM

I am not sure that it will be that bad. Not that many got CZ or ATI vouchers.

GhostMjr · August 13, 2004, 04:52:06 PM

ooo this looks interesting ty OB! I think this should work but it will take at least a few days to dl as GFK says as after reintalling steam a few days ago it took me 3 days for it to be up to speed again!

Pre-poading has started.

Mine took 3 mins :lol: (because I'd already grabbed the gcf file off P2P last weekend

)

Show off!

Jamoe · August 17, 2004, 11:59:59 AM

sweet,

anyone got any links to the gcf.

I will download at work.

Whitey · August 17, 2004, 12:05:42 PM

That would be most helpfull for me as well. Fast connection at work and slow ISDN at home.

Jamoe · August 17, 2004, 12:52:01 PM

i could host it on my works server depending on its size.

Quotesorry boss i just donbt know where all our bandwidth has gone

PM me details and I can upload it.

Whitey · August 17, 2004, 02:23:53 PM

Jamoe, When you get it would you be so kind as to PM me the details to download it.

Jamoe · August 17, 2004, 04:36:09 PM

it will be on the same server as the maps ive got hosted.

I will post a full url on here when Sadako has uploaded it for us all

(plus access info)

Be aware that this is my works server so only download form here if you have todo so from work. I.e u got a rubbish connection at home and u cant get steam running at work. I will need to keep an eye on the bandwidth used so if it goes offline then its cause ive had to stop the downloads.

looking forward to a game of beta TCS:S

update: (posting this now cause im off home and wont be back on till tomorrow)

the url is

http://217.160.190.202/dmw/

when sadako has uploaded the gcf add the filename to the end.

username is dmw
password is current server password

bandwidh issue isnt too bad, i think we have about 150 gig this month. But again only use if ou have too.

Cheers

Thanks Jamoe. In the end I didn't need it as I kicked the update off when I got home last night. When I left home this morning it was at 91.3% so will be finished by the time I get home tonight
