Valve’s Steam Is Having Problems, Again
It seems that every time Valve releases a new game or episode, their Steam platform is having problems coping up with the demand. And it’s no different with the Orange Box, where a lot of users are reporting of very slow downloads (those who purchased it on Steam, of course).
Personally, I pre-ordered the game some time ago, and have been downloading Episode 2, Team Fotress 2 and Portal for over 12 hours now, average speed of just under 50 KB/s. Come on Valve, surely you can invest in a few more servers?
