I'm on day 2 of trying to convert my linux server to Steam. I have been plagued with numerous freeze-ups and connection reset errors as many of you probably have experienced. There has to be a better way.
But my question is why is Steam downloading the contents of the pak files when they already exist on the server? This doesn't make sense. Why download the entire contents of the pak files when it's likely that 99% of the files haven't undergone any changes under Steam? Can the old pak files be deleted since Steam has seen fit to unpack them?
BTW: Some of you may find a petition circulating on PlanetHalflife to do away with Steam amusing.
