Steam D/L speeds!

[Novocaine]

Just curious if anyone else here picked this up off steam? I bought it last night and downloads were going smooth, about 800kb/s. When I hit 90% it slowed right the hell down to 30kb/s. I've tried several servers but no luck. I'm not running Steamwatch. Does anyone have any suggestions to speed this up? lol

I'm at 4% after 3hours. Seriously getting jacked off with it. Have tried all the server options and nothing approaching my usual 680>780kbs.

Mine took about 5-6 hours, and that was mucking around with FreysFilter, however at about 70% it decided to auto connect to the Node steam server - YAY! Before that it was staying on the Primus one .

Something's not quite right here, 5% after 12 hours?

Yea, i would say so! What connection do you have? What does speedtest.net results show you should be getting? Are you going with the nodes content server???

I ended up re-starting the download at 4am Sunday morning and it was consistent at 500k or there abouts. Normally sits around 700k so happy in the end. Node servers didn't make a difference, all were pitifully slow.

Downloaded, played and unistalled, with every other game on my PC. Don't need the distractions at the moment, I'll wait for semester break.

Great game, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I actually found changing preferred server location to JAPAN made a big difference... before that all my local (WA) servers were giving me about 200-300KB/s... but change to Japan and I get 1.6-1.7MB/s.

Australia... ****
Earthquake ravaged Japan... perfect.
