[BWMASTER]

It either downloading the 400 mb cache or some other stuff

 

[Kotik]

You lucky guys...

 

[dscowboy]

cache file? then what is it putting in the cache file? The cache file exists to reserve room on the harddrive, there's no need to download anything for the cache file.

 

[Kotik]

Really mystic thing happens at steam.

You're damn right.. it's supposedly finished downloading, yet nothing's updated in my steam folder. Hm.

 

[symptom]

Mine does cool stuff all the time.

Does anyone know how Steam actually works? Valve has said there are no P2P aspects of it in use yet. Here's an idea though, maybe they're pushing the movie out to people in advance, on a staggered schedule so it uses less of their bandwidth. Then, when the movie is 'released', it will instantly appear for those people.

Abom|nation, let us know what happens for you when the next movie comes out, if it goes out and downloads it like normal, or if it suddenly appears in your Steam folder.
