I guess that's just for source games then. Because the GCF files DO pre-allocate.

I believe it.. I think I'm just fed up with this UT3 download.  For a content delivery system, steam fails this time.

Mine just says "Updating..." all the time... but when Im checking the download meter, I'm only getting 20-30KBps now... that is until it drops.

Plus Mark had UT3 installed already.

No he did the same thing you are doing. He bought it Thursday a little before noon, so he just started it earlier than most people. I was having the exact same problems early Thursday morning when it was released, just not near as bad. It would fluctuate between 10kbps - 350kbps. So the same thing still might apply for you.

Oh he told me that he had it installed, it just wasn't a legit copy, and he didnt have the updates...

Nope he bought it. He was complaining to me that he bought it for $20 RIGHT before they released the $12 deal heh. He was playing last night with us.

Haha ya ya I know that he bought it right before the price drop, but what Im saying is that he had the majority of the game installed already from playing at a previous LAN.  The reason he bought it was so it was legit and could play with everyone online.

So he still would have had the majority of the game installed and only needed steam to do the updates, as where I am getting the entire game.  Not sure if that is making a difference or not...

I was checking out the Steam Forums (right-click UT within Steam, then View Forum) and trying some of the things others are suggesting (such as deleting ClientRegistry.blob) but that didn't help me either. Every now and then it teases me by showing me a couple hundred KB/s for a second or two, then it's nothing for minutes or hours at a time. Still stuck at either 55% or Download starting... depending on when I glance at my Steam window.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Hey Jordan, can you post links to the map packs you installed on the server?  I installed the community map pack from epic but you have maps that are 50MB+ and it's downloading ever so slowly from the server.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Slowly? It was downloading rather fast last night. I was playing at 3am with 9 random people and none of them were complaining. So I figured it must be normal. I'm using the same redirect as we used for UT2k4. http://uz3.gameservers.net/ut3/

It's the ONLY free redirect site out there. I installed CBP3 volume 1 and volume 2.

I installed CBP3 volume 1 and volume 2.

There are no packs on that site, just all map files.  No worries, I'll just dl them when I log in.  I just figured it would be easier to just DL the pack and install them.
That's Mr. Deception to you.
