maybe not kazaa but something using a p2p platform would have been great. There is some site that does bf1942 updates that way, i dont remember the url though

Bittorrent would work wonders. Go distributed downloading.

From csnation:

CS-Nation CS-Nation's CS 1.6 BETA Release Coverage
Release Info & Mirrors
The BETA release of Steam 2.0, which allows access to Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA, has been suspended. Due to some members of the gaming press leaking copies of Steam, the 500 megabit content servers have been filled to their capacity. To be fair, if Steam couldn't handle an unofficial release it wouldn't have done well with an official release either.

If you want to host a content server for Valve software, please check out the requirements listed at www.steampowered.com.

You can read CS-Nation's hand-on report of Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA at this location.

CS-Nation's news & comments will return once our traffic returns to normal levels.

So those people who got.. think you could just zip that cstrike folder or whatever, maybe the whole Steam folder, send it to someone here with a fast connection, and have them host it? ;):D

I don't think it'll be coming back up for a while. This was supposed to be a limited Beta release. It got leaked and they got hammered. I really don't know what they're going to do though.
