I got steam working with no problem and I love it. New menu/interface and cleaner graphics. Try it before you say bad stuff about it.

I'm not going to be able to download and If I ver did manage to put a week aside to download it on a 56k, I'm not going to be able to play it because my computer is now too old.

Also, I know that I'm not the only one in this position so, Mulisha, valve/steam can go and #alien

itself

Valve really messed up with this one. No bandwidth, no mirrors, huge files, should have just made a normal patch.

*thawp*

that was the sound of 1000 knees jerking at the same time

Steam is suffering from a bad case of inertia. It's really hard to go from 0 to 50,000 at the snap of a finger. But, hopefully once the system has stablized and Valve signs up more content providers, the end users will start to see some benefits. If we don't see improvement in the next few weeks, then I'd say your concerns would be justified.

plus, have you ever seen a Half-Life update that didn't set off massive petitions and "I'm quiting" notices??

Here is a conversation that says all I think I need to say:

You {lsort}, "It finally ran."
You {idle}, "It downloaded all the files for DoD that I already have."
You {center}, "Yet it claimed it would use the existing files."
Beet googles, "That's dumb."
You {not}, "Then, I attempt to join a server."
You {select}, "HL.EXE starts."
You {lt}, "I see a 640x480 splash screen with artwork depicting two allied soldiers in combat."
You {lrand}, "Nothing else."
You {tzoffset}, "No console."
You {lsort}, "No menus."
You {links}, "No gameplay."
You {isnum}, "Pressed every key on the keyboard, and as many combinations as I could think of."
Beet googles, "Hahahaha."
You {owner}, "Until I got bored, pressed the MAGIC combination, raised task manager, and killed it."

That's what happened to me, then I moved my files to the right place...

Since their program isn't smart enough to install itself correctly what files need to be moved where?
