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.
Bug confermed, we're dealing with the same issue here :(

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

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
Great Idea, but first we need some microsoft software without bugs to be
patched, or a third party that will patch them for us.

Depends whether Valve is using a feature of IE that was guaranteed to
never change. Otherwise, with no contractual obligation, it is up to
Valve to keep up with changes. My bank, for example, tests for the
presence of IE6 and tells me to upgrade to IE6 when I'm running IE7.
Who is responsible?
for me it's not important who is guilty - but it's a fact that with IE 7
(which will come on most gamers machines soon automatically) the
fast-download is not working without manual change.
other question - why is the built-in download from steam so slow and
awfull? if this would be faster, we
Hello,
Actually looking at the user-supplied fix shows you it's a registry
change which is relevant to the Steam client, nothing to actually do
with Source (client side or server side).
And further investigation shows that the particular registry key is used
by the Steam client to remember the
We are working on a fix for the problem, should have something next
week. The bug is that the IE7 COM control now returns corrupt data
ocassionally for the document complete event, we are writing code to
counter that.

Facts are wonderful things! Thank you. My apologies to Valve. This is
definitely a Microsoft induced BUG not a feature change.

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
Although, this is the same bug that people have been reporting forever since
IE7 was in Beta and RC stages and nobody took any action on this. Valve
didn't take it up with Microsoft, Valve didn't write the work-around code
already, Microsoft didn't fix it.
Everyone dropped the ball, and now

I don't use the auto update feature to install the winblows updates, I only
use it to tell me that updates are available for download and then I
dissallow the auto updates and go directly to the windows update site and
download only the updates
