They can sometimes give slow DL speeds when there is alot of traffic.

Re: Demo comes in february
well there will be a lot of people downloading it i think and even on normal occasions steam sometimes goes down to 0kb for about half an hour without any clear reasons, but maybe its just me (even though i dont think thats likely as my internet is pretty fast)
Re: Demo comes in february
Whatever time Steam etc quotes as the demo being released, do not expect it to be released dead on time, they rarely if ever give GMT times either (hopefully CA will do that)
even if it is released on time, if a lot of people are waiting for it the download servers are probably going to be under a high load, but you should still be able to get very good speeds
Im thinking the demo will be 1-2gb maybe more, should be able to get the demo pretty quickly even if a lot of people are downloading, its not like a game release day when tens of thousands are downloading

OMG a 80gb?? Might as well get unlimited. Seriously what is the point in them making an 80gb one?
We got a 20gb. It used to be a 512mb allowance!!
hopefully the demo gets released in NZ time (+13hrs!!)

There is a trick that I've had some 'moderate' success on with downloading large files from Steam:
Change your region. Its enabled me to download at much higher rates, at least some of the times.

It is used a lot by ISP's in the US, UK and Australia. Personally I have never seen it used in the rest of Europe.

Re: Demo comes in february
Changing your region does work quite well, when i was downloading the empire demp (i think) i changed it to uganda (I actually live in the uk) and my download speed shot up

Shame steam,shame...

Re: Demo comes in february
Does anyone know if the demo will be unlimited?
Or might CA put a timer in that stops you playing after an hour or something similar? Because that would cause much rage.......
"Antifa Against Fascism!" - Well, obviously.......
Re: Demo comes in february
Never heard of a limited demo before, sounds like a retarded thing to do.

Re: Demo comes in february
Mafia 2's demo has a timer.
Re: Demo comes in february
Oh right i'd forgotten about that one
Civis
Re: Demo comes in february
i think that you can only play for 10 turns or something similar.

Re: Demo comes in february
You can get rid of it with a hex editor....
Forward, march!
