Oh Alb... Why does this constitute a new thread, and why haven't you noticed Abomination's sticky? Come on dude, pay attention.

That step took about 5 minutes for me...

Stupid me though, I left the window up for like half an hour because I didn't realize that the "next" button had become pressable...

why it take so long for me

 

[Chris D]

How long's it taken?

 

[Alzxul]

My steam seems to be stuck on exactly the same thing :x

 

[Guest]

:x wtf?

 

[Chris D]

Alb, how long has it taken so far?

 

[Alzxul]

...? What didn't you understand? My Steam is also taking forever on the same part that you said yours is stuck on.

 

[zangief]

There is no way that Steam will be able to handle thousands of people downloading Half-Life 2 at once. When HL2 comes out on Steam it probably won't download completely until like a week later.

ahaha I let it start this morning before school, came home it was done

That step seems to be a bit buggy, alb. A few people are having problems with it.

I tried to let mine download while I was at work, got home and that ****ing "Debug Assertion Failed" error message had come up and crashed Steam probably about 10 minutes after I left for work.

I have to agree, things still aren't stable even with just releasing the non-beta client. Imagine whats gonna happen when HL2 is released on Steam
