I got all those errors within a minute span  . The funny thing is there are no minors in this house that use a computer, except for Frag of course.
I cannot get steam to run. I've been trying to get it running for the last 45 minutes. I tried rebooting, clicking the icon hundreds of times. I even talked nicely to it, NOTHING.
Steam was a great idea. I would like to shake the hand of the asshole who came up with this idea

LOL its been downloading a 130mb file since yest, its download over 230mb so far. Good goddamn program.
Is it normal for it to take like 2-3 minutes just for the stoopid program to load. I double click on the icon, and magically about 3 minutes later it shows up. When it does, it says the network is offline, even though the servers show at half capacity.

My steam install finally works. I figured out what was up with it doing
nothing when I tried to start a game (a game that was labled 'ready to
play'):
Half-life itself wasn't finished downloading. (Why did it copy all those files
from my CD install? This still makes 0 sense.)
Really, the dependencies are not being properly explained to the end
user, and this thing about downloading files you already have... WTF
Valve? |

If thats the case, this is going to take forever at 3-5kb/sec. |

Hate to be a meanie on that one, but that's a standard windows
erorr message. Windows put the quotes there, not Steam. |

Steam should edit thier page cause this part doesnt apply.

I had to yet uninstall it and reinstall it again cause when I refresh the servers it again killed my Internet connection. Which after the third time of this process it still kills my internet connection. I think this program hates my computer for some reason. |
