Yes, and also, why is the non-offical one like 4.12MB, and this one only 500KB?

I noticed that too. I was trying to figure it out and maybe Valve just kinda streamlined it for a better download.

Probably requires less to start the application since it can download everything after the initial connections are made.

Anyone have any idea why it took this long to become public? I know it has problems but almost everyone that wanted it had it, so whats the point of keeping it unofficial.

They didn't had enough brandwith to handle 50000+ users.

going to miss the small community, had a great time.... oh well... back to those crazy 20/20 servers...

CS 1.4 was public towards the end and it still had a small community. The majority of players don't know anything about new updates until the error message comes up telling them there mod is out of date.



but the CS 1.6 community is nothing to write home about

I talked with JohnC about 30 minutes ago on irc (and I definitely know it was him since the entire ip block his hostmask was from is owned by valve).



He said "hopefully" that the media will be out by tonight.

JohnC:

we're still testing and tweaking the movie delivery system, making sure it plays correctly on everyones system, and there are a bunch of small details

[Unreal Dante]

"VALVe has also added additional content servers to provide extra bandwidth for the upcoming release of HL2 media expected this weekend."



That little bit of news is all I cared for and it made me giddy with excitement.
