you can grab the Steam Downloader here

You need to run the Steam Installer to get cs 1.6
you will be asked your email address/password
and it will give you a new Steam id

Note: The 2-400mb Steam downloads WILL BE METERED

I take it that this is a bona fide installer? I've just read over the net that there are fake installers that install viruses onto your computer.

can someone tell me how roughly how big the steam d/l will be? I seemed to have cut it close to my d/l limit for the month

Internode wouldn't host files with viruses in them :roll:

Dude, I certainly hope so. I guess we haven't heard anything negative as yet so I can assume its okay.

It's about time. Things like Steam are most defiently the future of online gaming.

One will hope that Valve will release "distributable packs". Or, something with a similar meaning. They've said that if you buy Half-Life 2 in shops, then that'll be your way of filling up your local cache, as opposed to downloading it after buying it online. Therefore surely they'd be able to release things like DoD and CS in packs which can then be distributed on cover CD's, to sites like Internode, etc.

So, this Steam thing...

This is the end of being able to download a CS patch to my file server and hand it out to 20 mates at a LAN. Right?

And there goes any possibility of downloading the patch for free off Internode's servers. Right?

This means when I reinstall Windoze because it's crapped over itself, I'll have to download everything again. Right?

As far as I can tell, Steam just means pain and suffering for me, and that we'll never play higher than CS 1.5 at any game day. I can't see any good side to it so far.

yep it looks like it. this downloads gonna take ages i bet.

by **S3MT3X** » 12 Sep 03, 5:32 pm

Why so resistant of change? It's been out less than a day, you know next to nothing about it but people are labelling it 'the end of CS'.

Do you really think Valve would release something that is going to destroy their most popular product?

Why don't you actually try something before you declare it the anti-christ.

Half Life 1.1.2.0 and CS 1.6 released
