Steam problems for anyone else?

Swifty55 · 8 May 2012 at 20:03

Just bought Sniper Elite V2 but steam is giving me slow downloads/problems...

Is it my end or is anyone else having problems?

A large (800mb) update has just been released for Portal 2 which incorporates a new level editor.

In just 1 hour, 136 user-created levels have been posted up on the Steam Workshop!

I imagine every single Steam content server is getting hammered by everyone trying to download this update - so naturally everything else will run slow, just like it does during a sale or after a release of a prominent VALVe game!

Ah, that may explain it then. Origin gives me full speeds.

Gay.

UK London as always. Maxed it out once I stopped my other download. No problems with the server. :confused:
