actually, it is all just multiplication and division...

Well that's right, but what I guess I'm trying to say is that you don't do this:

1 000 000 bits / 1024 = 976 kbit, you'd divide it by 1000 when calculating in bits to kilobit (kb).



Now If you had 1 000 000 bytes then you would divide by 1024 to get kilobytes (KB).



This part of the divx manual explains it better:

I kinda wish you could pause preloading and reboot your machine. Last time i tried that it wouldn't resume, and said my preload was invalid.

i heard on the interweb that all the game engine files like the hl2.exe and stuff are in this 6th update, but i don't know jack, so check yourself.

This seems like a huge mistake to me. Now if the encryption was cracked all thats lefts is some dlls they could use from the leak - lets hope it goes gold real soon.

It was highly exciting to be on the same CS:S server as you the other day. If only every CS:S game was that exciting



P.S. You had a shit score

Howdy everybody, I was just looking at the new phase 6 update files, and just thought id let everyone know that the new file Half Life 2 Base shared .gcf file contains more than just maps for HL2It also contains the client, server, and engine dll files among more sound files and some cutscenes in vcd format, And some files that have something to do with the AI in certain maps, could Valve be trying to get us all ready to release , but decide tokeep it on the down low so everyone doesnt get excited?

Divide by 8.



8 bits to a byte. As Steam downloads all things in bits, and you are taking everything in bytes... Yeah.



Roughly 4.95GB assuming the rest of your math is correct, which I didn't bother to check.

dont forget start and stop bits and encapsulation headers/checksums to every packet.
