DigiChilli January Status and feedback

Okay, so what is the official position on Steam? Why does it sometimes work and other times not?

Is it treated as P2P?

What is the deal here? It is extremely frustrating to be halfway through an update/download of a game and then next time you boot up you can't even access your Steam account as it won't log in.

I have just emailed the query below to support. I'll post the reply when I get it.

Hello there

I'd like to know what DigiChilli's official position is on supporting connections to Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/about/)

When I first joined DigiChilli in early December 2009 it wasn't possible to connect to my Steam account. The client would not work without logging on.

Then after a week or two this issue seemed to be resolved and I could log in and download my game content. Online gaming didn't but at least I could download my games.

Then in there were general connection issues due to you upstream provider so I just gave up. In early January all seemed well again so I paid up and, as I had hoped, I could continue downloading again (some of the games I have purchased ar in excess of 10Gig).

Alas, my joy has been short lived as since last week I once again can't log into my account as the client can't connect.

Why is this so unstable?

Regards,

Werner van Aswegen

rapidshare doing ok, but still wont finish a file!, as soon as only one download server is being used, it effectively stops downloads!

You seem suffer from selective reading. //edit// and just for clarity, i'm in no way affiliated with digichilli in anyway. I'm just a user like the next guy.





If you want to be up to date with the latest news just email Dave and ask him. That what i done, maybe you should do the same.

NO dude YOU SEEM to suffer from illiteracy AND selective reading, AS I stated earlier and a friendly reminder, so did many others, Dave does NOT and did not reply UNTIL I reported Digichilli to the ISPA:) Further do you suffer with ADHD (attention deficit disorder)?I stated my case and pointed out issues that was earlier spoken of in this thread, by many others!
Now if you have nothing good to say please don't bother replying!

Now enjoy your day further:)
