425kbps isnt too bad, i would say.

425KB/s is peaked. looks like avg is 325KB/s throughout

well i can get 1MB/s on torrent with no problem.

for direct download this is consider pretty poor.

plus its a paid service.. so my take is Valve should do something to improve it.

Was expecting to download 2 hours.. now gotta wait 7 hours. yawn.gif

It could be heaps of reason like there is a sale and people are buying games like crazy. Or since BO comes out next week, probably due to people preloading the game.

At least you can download,as during last year's christmas sale, you cant even start a download due to everyone is buying and downloading games.
