Installing HL2 +CSS with broadband

[Ranga]

i have a broadband 512k connection, but when i try to update css, it says it will take 134 minutes

is this really right?

nehelp would be appreciated

well, yes, because you have to download CS:S.

edit: assuming this is the first time you've tried to play it. otherwise it's false and don't worry about it.

no, my version of half life2 came with it already.

i uninstalled it, and now it sits on the "preparing to play counter-strike source" screen.

Actually, just leave it go down at a massive rate eventualyl, the time should come down. Or if it reallly does take that long. Before you go to bed have it start dling. Wake up in the morning, and there ya go!
I mean, that how us 56kers dl 300+meg files these days.

okay. i closed steam, then double clicked on css (the shortcut). now it is stuck at decrypting file (16%).

i managed to do this on a 14.4k modem before!!!
