watchthisspace: It says Portal 2 is on the cache, but I just used up over 2gigs of my data cap whilst downloading it. 30% of 11gb down :(
NZSimplicity: Silly question, but is there any program that works with 3rd party firewalls? - eg: I use Vire and there seems to be no way to set it up for only allowing snap steam servers (I asked on their forum and they said there wasn't any way to explicity set it up manually)
frizianz: There of course is a way to do it in windows firewall if you have both running.

NZSimplicity: I'm not sure if Vipre will allow me to have windows firewall running at the same time, but anythings worth a try :) thanks for the reply....
nbree:One of the last tools listed on the link Ragnor posted above is one I wrote called steam-limiter which is firewall-independent and should work regardless; if you do try and it doesn't work for you, if you let me know I will try and look into it and set up Vipre in a VM for test purposes to see if it needs anything extra (but it shouldn't, I've tested my tool using AVs with firewalls like Avast! and NIS and they are fine).
Although I'm on TelstraClear rather than Snap, I did add Snap to the list of supported ISPs a few versions back, and the new auto-detection stuff I've just added for v0.4.1 should in principle be able to detect that you're on Snap at install time and limit Steam's access to just the Snap! server.

I've been using Steam Content Limiter, it works really well thanks.
nbree:
Good to know! I've had close to zero feedback one way or another about it, so it's nice to hear that it is functioning as expected (works fine for me of course, but that's no a guarantee of anything). Please do let me know (here, via e-mail, or on the Google Code issue list) if you do have any suggestions or feedback, no matter how small.

Now that I've gone back and checked on the program (haven't touched it since I first installed it a while ago), I've found that I wasn't able to open the program from the system tray.

kinnadian: I was under the impression that this content server would operate similarly to the Snap Youtube Cache, whereby files are not placed onto the server until someone had downloaded it, and then all other viewers would watch the version from the Cache.
