Is "Gooseman" not good enough, Minh? ;-P Nathan: I'm pretty sure the best way of getting to the Steam taskforce is either posting a support request or figuring out the date and time in Bellevue, WA and making a phone call. The phone is such a nice device because you can't claim you've ignored the message when you have picked up. You can sadly ignore E-mails much easier.
So try the support website first and then call. (Make sure you close your internet connection before you lift the receiver. My sincere pity for your unfortunate fate of long waits. Still remember myself how it was before DSL.) ~~ Ondra Minh wrote:

Firstly let me explain that I am on dialup because as a student I don't have the cash flow for a higher speed that the area cable company has a monopoly on. Biased? maybe. I usually update at a friends or let it update at night. But now with Steam auto-updating in the background it hogs all my bandwidth when I need it. Ok now to the issues. Can you please put an option for the Steam platform to: auto-update in the background, not auto-update, or update prior to loading. Might as well put a force update button too. Secondly the Steam Bandwidth Monitor does not show all of the bandwidth being used by Steam. It only shows content download bandwidth, so none of the Steam platform updates or Store shows up in the Bandwidth Monitor. Thanks Nate "Liquid Gravity" --
