Does anybody else find that when they download older games on steam they get really poor speeds? at the moment in downloading half life 2 ep1 and its going to take over an hour. its downloading at 34.0kbps. ive had 6.1mb downloading newer games such as alien vs predator. same happend lat week when i downloaded half life 2. so annoying, done a speed check just now on 3 different sites and im currently getting between 27-30mb (even though I was getting 50mb on my virgin) regardless I presume its to do with steam :confused:
 
cheers papalazaru, that seems to have made a difference. I remember changing that once before but seems to have reset to the lowest possible. its downloading faster now at 448kbps so much better. Still not as great as i usually get but least its a small file and my boredom will end soon will half life 2 ep1. only ever played on 360 so since they are cheap i want to play them how they really should be played! thanks again!
