I checked this page - http://www.steampowered.com/status/status.html - both today when I was trying to update, and the last time I tried to update, because initially I was thinking the same thing (I remember the issues Valve had with their content servers almost 2 yrs ago when CSS was first released). According to that stats page, there was more than enough bandwidth available to handle a multitude of servers at once, both this time and last. So it's a safe bet to say that the steam content servers were not overloaded at any point during today's update.

The ability (speed) of the client is very important to be sure, as a non-responsive client will more likely be ignored. Still, if the Steam servers are getting overloaded, they will drop connections ("connection reset by peer"). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Grimm Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 12:43 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] issues (connection reset by peer errors) with latest updates on my server is no firewall running ... other srcds updates worked fine, but on two servers i got that error ... > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Trizik > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.
