I never thought installing the orange box took this long...
started at about 7 (i reckon 7:05) and Team Fortress the lower of the lot, is only about 24%
How long did it take for you?
Thank
Spudmonkey

about as long as three quarters of a piece of string. from here to there, and halfway back again. |

ah right, no offence Tjolbi, but bill's seems more flexible, so i'll take his reference  Half life 2: 81% (the furthest into the download) TF2: 63% (the lowest) |

If you're downloading them, then it's going to take as long as it takes to download about 1Gb-2Gb per game... That can be 3 hours, 6 hours... 24 hours - depends on connection and the available bandwidth! To make matters worse, you're downloading more than 1 at once Unless instead of DL, you actually mean installing from disk

have done now, thanks chips once i did so, TF2 went from 69% up to 77% and has stayed like that for ages. It randomises the KB/s anything between 8KB/s-200KB/s EDIT: 78% FTW
