Elpie: Finally caved in and bought a Steam game however I don't know why I bothered. For some weird reason, I thought I could buy a game and play it the same night. I purchased Civilization V (not on daily deal but I wanted to play it tonight). 9 hours later it is still downloading and showing approx an hour left to go.
Currently, its coming down the pipes at 35kb/s. Sheesh!

That's odd. Did you try changing your server in preferences? I use Snap's and have been downloading at an okay speed today.

I was on the Orcon server so changed to Snap's server. Speed varied a lot and got me excited when it hit 300kb/s - then it went almost immediately down to 18kb/s :-( It stayed under 30kb/s for a very long time but I finally got Civ5 GOTY in 16 hours.

While the sale has been on I've noticed their speeds have been a little on the slower side. But anything under 100kb/s is ridiculous. If you know anybody else with the Steam version of the game you can grab the files off them.

Elpie: It just serves me right for weakening and buying something on Steam ;)

It's funny because at first I've always read your comments and been like "you don't know what your missing" because for me Steam turned me into a PC gamer. Before that it was PS3 or nothing. But then I realised I was being an absolute hypocrite as I refuse to buy music from iTunes as I have to download iTunes onto my computer instead of just being able to download the music I want. I must ask do you use iTunes?
