50% off - not bad at all. Does it normally retail for R500 though

^^^

Not in SA, but in the US most new pc games cost $50.

 

[MrG]

Thats interesting. Why do we get the games cheaper?

Left 4 Dead being $49.99 and in SA can buy it on Take 2 for $317

Unless you have an uncapped acc, this deal is fruitless. R250 to me is not a good deal considering you still gotta DL the game. You can buy it off Take 2 for R 317.

 

[MrG]

Yeah, thats what I said abobe... lol.

However I dont mind downloading off Steam because of the local IS Content Server.

So many people mention this IS server, yet I have never connected to it.

Anything special I need to do? Is it only available to IS users ?

 

[MrG]

The IS Content Server is open access according to the steam powered website.

They are an official mirror on the www.steampowered.com list. Some servers are specified to be a closed user group but that does not include Internet Solutions.

I have noticed it still uses my international connected between like 15kb and worst 40kb a second, but then like 150kb - 400kkb via local only account.

If you disconnect ur international connection while downloading it carries on with local only however as of late for some reason it stops after about a minute or so and gets going again, but sometimes it doesnt. Maybe it needs the international to recheck sources or something.

I just know the majority goes through the local connection.

Cool, I'll play around a bit.
