Steam needs to sort out their interface

That might have been a better idea before resetting Steam. Why did you have to post second?
Lesson to self: Don't do the first thing suggested on a forum.
Lesson number two: Throwing a can of beer out the window in a rage is just wasteful.
Now I have to go retrieve a can of beer before my dogs chew it.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? However, it's up to 3% in the last half an hour. This makes me angry. It would have been easier by far to pirate this game - do people really wonder why piracy's so rampant?
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but while I'm not fluent, I'm at least literate enough to know when I've cocked up. I've gone through Company of Heroes & DoWII at 150k+, no problems, it's just this game that has given me issues.
It's really not. I used to pirate games when I was at uni, but now that I work for a living there's no reason for me not to go legit. At no point in this thread have I expressed views on the validity of piracy. There's a phrase you're bound to hear if you ever work in a lab, and it's a good one to live your life by - "assumption is the mother of all ****-ups".
This is a lovely little part of Steam I've clearly glossed over in the week or so I've been using it. It's also helped me figure out that, indeed,
Since it's a 2890Mb file, and 370Mb is roughly 25% of the 44% I had remaining when I validated the file that was still downloading at 100%. That's a lot of numbers, but thanks, that's helped a lot. If I knew you in real life Pogo, I'd hook you up with an escort girl.
Edit: Not as spurious as it sounds, a couple of my friends are escort girls in London. They're like hookers, but much more expensive, hotter, and with less crack.
you 'implied' that piracy would have solved your problems, why you felt the need to suggest this only you know... !
you state that the 'steam interface' needs to be sorted out !!! yet the thousands of customers/users seem to be able to get their head round it without the drama !!
you feel the need to come clean about previous piracy and tell us you now have a job !! whoopee doo !!!
look, im not having a 'go' at you but throwing a can of beer out of the window because some software didnt work ? come on, rattle and pram doesnt spring to mind ?
anyways i hope you have it all sorted, Titan Quest is a great game
I can understand where the misinformation originated, and I won't shirk from taking my share of the blame. Sunday dinner is a time for my family to get together, it was my turn to host and beers aren't conducive to patient reasoning. The piracy reference was meant as a highlight, not a vindication, but "rattle and pram" is a fair jab - there is, however, a short but very, very boring backstory behind my trying to get this download sorted. My point was that for a legitimate software downloader, you'd think they would make more of an effort. Just compare the summary screen on any torrent downloader you've ever used to Steam's 'games' pages. Anyway, in the spirit of drunken outbursts, no harm, no foul. Hopefully both ways.
Once again, it's not the speed that's the problem. I know my connection needs work, and it's being addressed. I'm disappointed in the interface - the lack of information, and the initial lie of 100% completion when it was a litle over 55% downloaded.
Once again, SPEED IS NOT THE ISSUE. Really, really not. Just the platform.
