With radioactive unstable elements half-life stands for the amount of time a radioactive material will lose half of its mass.

It could range from ns to millions of years.

mass/2 every (time)

I am at 69% for a week or so, do you get the rest only if you buy it now?

Sounds like you need to restart Steam to resume the download. Something interrupted it.

There are a few members over at the halflife2.net forums that got stuck at 69 %

This trick may work for you:

I had this problem too. I was stuck at 69% and the continue button didn't worked, when I clicked on nothing happened, not even a message of that the Steam servers were busy just like what I got when preloading the other phases.

But now I have fixed it. First I cosed down Steam and then I went into Steam's .cfg folder and moved the latest file (counter-strike source shared content.gcf) to another location so Steam couldn't find it. When I started Steam again and began preloading HL2 I was at 58% but I wasn't stuck anymore. It just went smooth (@1.5 mbit/s) to 100%. I hope this helps you guys too

I got mine free with an ATI card, but I bought the Gold for future reinstalls, or a Christmas present for someone.

I wonder when ATI will release their next gen cards with vouchers for HL3 that people wont be able to use for 7 years.
