$10 Orange Box on Steam

<< < (2/3) > >>

mnemonic: happens from time to time - I guess if a lot of people are using this $10 offer, it could put quite a load on the servers. STEAM is supposed to support multi-server downloading though, I'm pretty sure I saw some notes about that in a steam update - but if all servers are swamped, that of course isn't going to help :)

lanux128:
it could be that their servers are taking a hit, given that this offer is time-limited.. good luck, though..

mnemonic:
I guess I'll just have to be patient  ;D

I'm surprised that they don't use a P2P system instead - the application could still connect to Steam's licensing servers to verify the license.

lanux128:
unfortunately P2P has become a dirty word with it being blamed for all the malaise of the web.. :)

Deozaan:
This is worth the $10 for Portal alone. The fact that you get 4 other games (HL2, Episode 1, Episode 2, and Team Fortress 2) for free is just frosting on the cake.
