*note the huge difference (8 fold) of bit to byte conversions
Current Steam bandwith available (rounded up) is 1500mbps
1500/8 = 187.5 MBs
avg acceptable DL speed is 100KBs (or 0.1 MBs , 10 sec per MB)
Thus, 187.5MBs / 0.1 MBs = 1875
1875 is the amount of users the bandwith can handle if they are all downloading at 100KBs (rather slow... for a 600+mb DL) wich is an extremely small amount. I think the demand on a Sept 30th release would be at least 8-16 thousand users.
Correct my math, I am thinking I messed uo and it is really 18,750 people they are able to host, but im not sure.
