Talking about the content servers, I would like to set one on my country :).
It's a big difference when you download updates 100-200KB/s and when you do
that 1-2MB/s :)))

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Local SteamContent Mirrors
It'll be better if somehow we could provide a default local mirror
for the Steam Content files (.gcf's) so that anyone on our
University's IP range is
automically directed to our server, hence they don't download them
off the internet.
This would also save thousands of users sourcing files from the Steam
Servers
too.
I believe Alfred from Valve has pointed out on this list previously that
is against the Steam EULA to mirror .gcf files directly (actually I
remember this being listed in the Steam FAQ but I've just checked again
and can't find it).
To the best of my knowledge this policy hasn't changed, though I'm sure
many people would like to be able to mirror these files.
What you really want is to get a Steam Content Server running; Alfred is
(as always :) probably the best person to talk to about this.
