FTP Information

--------------------

Address: dont need spammers do we :P

username: cstrike

password: steamed



It's a 42MB zip file. Extract it to \SteamCache\Counter-Strike



Example:



Steam 2.0 was installed to d:\steam on my machine, so I would extract the zip file to: d:\steam\steamcache\counter-strike\



Login to Steam...then let her rip. If you don't have a steam login already, don't bother getting this file. It's useless to you as the beta has been suspended.



If any admins here want me to take this file down from my server, please just ask. Other sites are calling this a "leak" even though it was publicly available.



My FTP Server is limited to 4 connections at a time....so please do NOT hammer....

It works perfectly for me, well, almost. I can't connect to any Internet games and I haven't tested it out with anyone here on my school's LAN, but I can create my own LAN game and play around with the weapons, etc. CS 1.6 Final is going to be REALLY slick. It does take a little bit for Steam to check to see if I have the latest version and then a little bit for it to start up HL, but after that, it runs pretty much like a well oiled machine. :)

cs-land, i dont think its on lan. I think something is wrong with authing. Type status in console and you wont have a wonid. All the players have the same thing.

[azz0r]

Console is disabled due to steam though?

Yeha same, ive got like 135 mins to go (Its gone up :/ ) but once i get it i will BACKUP the files in cahche

[azz0r]

Well it was @ 200 minutes.

Then about 20 minutes later is suddenly dropped to 109 minutes.

Then it sped to 65 minutes in about 10minutes.

Then it kept dropping minutes all the way down to 20 minutes, now its speeding.



15 minutes left.

took me 20 mins to download half-life, counter-strike, team fortress, ricochet and all

[sniv]

but isn't the cache purposely corrupted for the reason of beta testing of steam?



Blah, I guess I'll just wait for 1.6final

[bob99]

so is it still working now then ??



i giveing it another try after getting it all last night and it dieing when i got to 1 min left. was not a happy chap but nm !

Im not sure if to tick 'Launch game as soon as its ready' Im worried it wont update the file in the cache unless it runs, however I dont want to not back it up and then steam delete or modify it so its useless XD

theres 1 23/24 server and another 10/14 but it keeps saying steam validation invalid

dont tick it, once its done it will have the option to launch game, when its done, minimize copy cache then play to ur hearts content
