    Firstly, don't get steam its rubbish. It crashes on every one of my pcs, I can never get either tfc or cs to work with it.

    You could have been disconnected from the server you were downloading from.
    Your dsl connection could have been reset.
    Try using a download manager thingy so you can resume downloads.
    You are responsible for your cap, they won't disconnect you because you went over the cap; infact they are probably delighted you did, all it means is more money for them.

    If you post the actual error message you got then we could probably help you more. Your ADSL connection can drop, and it may have been this that caused the problem. Other than that, there isn't really anything you can do about it. Maybe you have a crappy modem? Who knows.

    Try ringing support and asking them.

    1- when i said i used part of my cap and was wasted meaning i did download like 80mb for nothing cause i dont got the file now
    2- i know steam is **** but i still want it but that aint the point here
    3- no modem aint crap and why would the dsl connection go down everytime when i reach 32%

    Ill try another server tomorrow morning and ill post the results tomorrow

    Got a good download manager for me?
    Thank u

    get DAP . I like it a lot. It wont help you with steam but you will be able to download the pre-cached version with dap

    If you want to play CS from now on you will HAVE to get steam.

    It works a lot better in the last day or two than it has.

    if u want to play cs from now on you need steam?
    what do u mean
    1.5 is still out
    steam is just 1.0 now but cs 1.6 is still in its beta phase
    1.6 retail will take some time

    Have you been hiding under a rock?:)

    1.6 is out of beta and available for download. Servers are gradually switching over to it.

    1.5 and WON will be phased out when they fix all the current issues with 1.6. Judging by previous releases, by this time next month you will not be able to play 1.5 and 1.6/steam will be the de-facto.


    You may be thinkingh of condition zero which is due out sep 30

    wow WUT lol
    1.6 is out, final phase meaning its not beta anymore um...
    thought it was just steam thats not beta anymore.
    What i don't understand is how come its on steam now? i thought cs1.6 on steam was just beta, so people could test it
    I mean normally it should be on www.counter-strike.net
    Why this sudden steam switch

    o my bad it is on there site um lol
    kind weird though that u have to dload the full version of cs1.6 and not just 1.5 to 1.6 update
    yes so why steam? wuts the advantage? more lag?
