For about the last six months I have noticed that downloading off steam ( at least for me ) , has become a lesson in frustration , most of the time the game either gets suspended ( servers to busy ) , or sayes downloading ( at the rate of 0 kb/s ) once in awhile I get a good run that may last as long as a hour at about 130kb/s. Keeping in mind that I paid for this game I decided to see how much better it would be to download it via torrent then run it through steam ( I hate game torrents as they're impractical ( because of updates and security ) , they're illegal , and quite often they're not all they say they are ) . All this said look at the difference between download speeds , is there any wonder that people choose to pirate rather than purchase considering this ?

Steam 0kb/s , other 415kb/s

Well I have no trouble, 1.4mb/s, It also depends on how many people are downloading at the same time Laughing Laughing

Internode have just announced that their Australia wide content delivery network is now being used to power our Steam content! bounce

Duran explain more about the internode stuff , I know they've had unmetered content through steam for ages , what exactly has changed ? Are you saying that node are delivering ALL steam content through their AGILE connection? BTW final download score 2.29 gb to other , 85.1 mb to steam over 1 hr 35 min.

Hi ya Sudden.
Have you played with "steam/settings/dowbloads + cloud?"
There are some parameters their that can altar where you DL and at what rate, even changing to outside of Aus could get you faster DL's.

Similar for me. I'm with Westnet (who are part of the 3FL network), and there's a 3FL option in the steam setttings so steam always tries to get the download from there before looking further afield.

Well I thought it worked but it didn't , it must depend on the game you're downloading because I reenabled a paused game that I had left sitting it was downing at a solid 250+kb/s , while this game I'm trying to download is still struggling just to mantain a connection.

Thanks for all your help guys. One for the books , at least we know the symtoms now.

My PC tools internet suite found it , but couldn't get rid of it. Too much for it , apparently the virus likes to hide in the standard operating system files so can't easily be cleared out. Luckily I've set my pc up to have only the operaing system on drive c all else goes to other drives , so a wipe is very easy and quick.
