valve oh dear oh dear

surely they had the foresight to know that when this game was released their "steam"- ing pile of cow dung servers would be choked...surely they realised this and put extra measures in place to ensure everyone got playing nicely straight away ive been sat for 30mins with HL2 on the HDD but i can play the dam thing till the G A Y S running steam say ive registered

I started downloading last night before I hit the sack, I woke up around 6am to see that it had stopped on 73%. I rebooted the PC, restarted steam and it was up to 85% right before I left for work.

I live close to where I work, so its home for lunch today!
