Currently, Steam is BS

I did not want to form an opinion before I tried it.

I installed it.... it froze in the middle of the installation. Then I tried it, found that DoD seems not installed (though I asked for it), and it freeze during the download of the components.

It seems to have some problems with my firewall too.

Why release something that affects millions of gamers, if you are not ready to handle it...

I like this quote from PlanetHalfLife.

"It's going the way of the Titanic... All hyped up to be something great, and then it hit an iceburg and sank"

How on earth do you propose a small company like valve come up with the resources to provide a half million users with that kind of bandwith? All doing this with money from a game released 3 years ago. Once the B/W drain is gone the network will run fime, it ran great for months in beta testing.

I have only had two real problems with steam so far(one of them I caused on my own)

1) content didn't transfer until later or something.
2) slow dl speeds because of being on 56k.

other gripe, the chess won't allow me to use en passant.

Besides that I have had no real problems with it besides for my own impatience(still dling tfc update and keep getting knocked off the phone(stupid 56k))

I tried to connect to a DOD server. Why does it want to download an additional 350mb? I've already got it, wasn't it supposed to copy it over?

It's telling me I can play DOD in 231 minutes and 5 seconds. I still don't understand why it is downloading the entire mod again. During the install it said it was going to copy it from the existing folder.
