Getting 80kb/s speeds?

Nah. Servers were fine. Twas just a huge file :)

I think it was mainly to do with the servers being hammered.

Says the one with the 10mb connection :)

It wasn't that bad.

You could have told us that the update was completely massive though. Then I could have downloaded it this morning, rather than having to wait an hour now.

Thanks for the update sPiKeCaSt (don't worry, some of us do appreciate being given this kind of info) I've hear Prodigy is a good map so I'll have to give a whirl later tonight. Hopefully now Steam will take a break from updating every bleedin time I boot up the PC.

Look, lets just end it here before it gets out of hand.

At the end of the day nobody else has a problem with it and lets face it, it's not your forum, if you don't wanna read it then don't, no ones forcing you to. If I knew it was going to cause upset I wouldn't have bothered, but like I've said some people might wannna know and I still fail to see how one post the odd time is going to hurt.

Maybe it clutters up the forum?

A game and an update for a game are two different things.

Don't waste your time on it. I fail to see the problem with posting every update on here in a new thread.

Okay then, every action game released from now on shouldn't be posted because there will be a new action game released every week. In fact no, every game released don't post anything on it as there will be another straight after and then we will whittle the posts down to none. Yey!
