Steam Servers Get A Shock

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 10:38 15/4/2004.

Jolt have managed to secure a deal with Washington based VALVe software to host a UK Steam content server. This is excellent news for us and will probably mean faster streaming of updates, which is always a good thing.

Kudos to eC^ for the heads up.

I think Blueyonder stoped providing their content server, as for this new Jolt one, it sounds good. Not that I ever liked jolt. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I checked the steampowered website and had a look at the content servers, even though the euopean servers have plenty of bandwidth available I still seem to download from the american servers!

Anybody have any idea why? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

dunno black cat, but try blocking those ip's with a firewall or something, and only keep the uk/eu ones unblocked :P when it see's it can't get onto 1 server, it'll try the next etc [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
