We're looking at the friggin huge blip in the available bandwidth on the content servers.

 

[lemmingzappa]

Yea i dont understand either

 

[blagh]

i see nothing

 

[GorgeousOrifice]

That's probably server maintenance, not an update squiggle. It wouldn't just drop to zero like that under normal conditions.

 

[wilka91]

what the hell is the point of this thread? the status is the same every day. just look at the curve, it goes up and down, up n down, up n down. The bandwidth is the same everyday, so what is your point for god's sakes??????

 

[YellowPeril]

ok maybe we all dont know what this means. every time there is a patch released via steam, there is a fluctuation in the available bandwidth. if you look at the second chart, you will see those. they happened today, so that definately means that steam is getting ready to activate hl2. i thought that taht was exciting... that is all...

 

[jabberwock95]

Could be anything really. They must have turned the servers off, or devoted all the bandwidth to something else.

[blagh]

those lines happen all the time, be it 1 or 3or4

 

[WhiteZero]

those lines happen all the time, be it 1 or 3or4

There is usualy only one of them though man.

Very rarly dose it happen more than once in the same hour.

 

[Dekstar]

I thought that it would only be a 1mb or so file needed to unlock HL2.... Why would there be a humongous flux from a 1mb file?

 

[Dead-Inside]

No, but the steam servers will still be overloaded with requests.
