Yeah but downloading will still take longer than my copy/ paste, or as my steam is installed on a seperate partition, i never have to reinstall it...pwned
Format c:, then use winrar. I use the builtin backup in Steam and backup the whole shebang to another drive. Takes flippin' ages, but at least it means a quick reinstall if winrar fubars.
You wish. I wouldn't bother lying about my bandwidth, I'm not that insecure (though I am insecure enough to brag about it ) see also: http://forums.bit-tech.net/picture.php?albumid=35&pictureid=512 it peaks at 11, physically cannot go higher (some sort of artificial cap applied by the uni I suspect). Took a few takes to catch it when it was exactly 11, avg. is 8mb/s from rapishare and such.
ah man painful! my uni is pretty good. get about 100-300mb/s with steam. although i cant even get on any downloader sites which sucks .
I still backup my steam folder for the sake of it, having a 2TB NAS is quicker to download from than the internet
