downloading the installer is not the problem...

getting CS 1.6 and the other mods off steam is a slow and painful process ;-)

nice post forcesho ... tried link#2 and it was down, but link#3 worked.

Is steam the only way to get 1.6 or will it eventually be hosted somewhere?

I finally got steam to update itself and actually start up without locking up.

Now it keeps locking up when I go to update CS.

What a POS.

I finally closed out of it after letting it sit there for 20 minutes doing absolutely nothing.

I don't think our technology is yet ready to support Steam. For something like this to work, everyone would have to have massive bandwidth, and most people just simply don't have that. The servers would have to have even more bandwidth. Ugh, I hate steam. I don't see what was wrong with the old way of distribution.
