While everyone is ranting against the autoupdate feature of Windows, My
auto updater just got in my face about some updates and none of them
included IE7. I still have IE6 installed (it's not my primary browser
anyways). If IE7 is getting installed on people's machine, it means they
are manually going out and installing it. They should simply be smacked
for using IE as their primary browser anyways.

computer users will realize how right the old DP professionals were (through repeated failure) that
you never want to be the first person to install an update.

If you cant,don't know how or feel that its too hard update your PC manually
then you shouldn't be running a PC in the first place. I do not use
auto update and never have used the feature and what is more I have also
never used the System restore feature either.
Get used to doing everything manually and things like this wont be so
bothersome.

So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable
auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines
then manually every few weeks? ;-)
The only working solution could be that fast-download works without any
manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not provide any
fix through auto-update that it works again, so valve is responsible for
a solution.

is it a client-based fix or a server-based fix? (search-function
doesn't work in steamboard forums so i didn't find until now)
if its a client-based fix you could forget it - and server-admins
will have to decide if they would kill their servers with custom
maps due removing fast-download or to loose players with IE7.
A server-based fix (if possible) is mandatory or a client-based
fix which could be provided with a regular steam-update that the
user has no manual work to do.
IE7 will be installed automatically through auto-update soon on
WinXP Clients, so there should be a fix asap.

Subject: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
This is something that is haunting IE7 users since first beta
releases
- if fast downloads are enabled on server sometimes an attempt
to download missing file via HTTP just crashes the game.
IE7 was released few days ago and now we are receiving
increasing number of complains about this issue. The only
workaround is to disable fast downloads but it is quite poor
solution actually.
Dear Valve gurus, any plans to fix this issue?
Regards,
Roman
