CS : S beta 7pm 2 hours!!!

I seriously can't understand the thinking of the guys in charge at Valve. Stuff like this is really bone headed.
 
LOL... the steam network monitor is like [||||||||_____________|||||||||||||______________]

They're getting killed. Sweet.
 
No kidding, I'd love to see their connection bills for this much bandwidth usage.
 
man this is exciting. i have been campoing the past 5 days, and have been thinking about this the whole time. i couldnt wait to get home and have it ready to go, but was bummed cause i thought id miss the opening. now i get to see it all!! this is awesome!

mine is slow to update tho :( aw well. see you all soon ingame!!!
 
Well when you have 1 million people downloading at the same time, it's going to lag. (no shit?)
 
I hope they have good cooling on their Steam servers, the NICs are probably ready to burst into flames.
 
i was so nervous i cleaned the kitchen with 10 mins left
mines updating as well at 0kb/s

Damn I wanted to play this week too. :(
 
When the fuck is the peer-to-peer tech from bittorrent going in? This is just dumb.

(yeah, I got the "too busy" message too).

Oh, well. Should be in bed anyhow.

PS. Sanitarium, use PNG for non-photo'esque images.

Edit: Your compression-artifact infested 45K JPEG vs my nice smooth 6K PNG.

I win! Wohoo.
 
my update is going at 200+ I still think its impressive for the amount of people who are probably updating right now in the first half hour
 
yah im getting pretty good speeds too it says 2 min!!! :D :D :D

edit: ugh... hit the mid 60's and mine too basically stopped... thats lame... aw well... they seriouslty need to implement p2p already...
 
wow I am a sucker... just purchased CS:CZ through steam to be able to play this game!
 
Wow, its only doing about 256Kbit on my 3Mbit connections. They must really be swamped tonight. The other day when CS:S was preloading, it was fully utilizing my connection for the 10 minutes it took to update it.
 
IT SUX TOTAL ASS< THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 5 SERVERS AND ALL ARE FULL, ONLY ONE HAS PINGS UNDER 100 THE REST ARE 250 PLUS ...how gay
 
I'd be shocked if we don't see some Valve CS:Source servers so they can test their netcode on a larger scale.

Make sure your server filter is set right there should be more than 5 servers, open it up to world. There was 20 or so during cafe beta.
