Telewest has potential of 100MBps, same with both nVidia servers. Click on the little + next to the server to get more info about it. ;)

nVidia servers are probably primary - the clients go fist to the nVidia servers, and then, if full, they go to the other servers. Maybe..?

I think it is upload bandwidth they are showing... from the server to the Steam clients.

Why would this indicate HL2 was going to be available to preload?

#1 or #2, can't really decide. Hmmm.... going for #1... now Steam better deliver :D I dunno what kinda connection you are on, but I want it :eek:

And how do you know it will take that long :P Well.. whatever... Valve will have it all sorted out.

You don't trust downloading it off the internet, but you trust buying it off the internet... okay. If the download stops, it will resume at the smae place when Steam is restarted (presuming your cache has not been damaged). I've preordered it, and I'm going to get it on Steam, just so I...

"Wow so now you got a card and decided not to get the nVidiia because it is not a good card for Half Life 2" ;)

You sign up THEN you get it sent. What don't you understand?

Great news. I think I will be signing up right away :)

Steam has probably twenty big servers exclusively for Half Life 2, plus parts of the game could be sent out before Sept 30th, and only on the 30th will it become playable. Maybe...
