webafrica: download from their steam server without using bandwidth !

gonna go for a R70 a month jobbie. got me plenty of stuff on steam i purchased, just never downloaded, as for new stuff. Serious Sam HD looks like a good purchase :D

and the whole Novalogic catalog!

Providing the Rand strengthens, sticking to the $ may actually work in our favour over time.

Sticking with afrihost as my main isp just going using wa for steam. Afrihost's 10gig adsl is 50% cheaper than WA.

According to their website, local and normal prepaid have access to their FreeZone.

That is correct however you must have available bandwidth on your account to access the FreeZone area.

Content downloaded from our Steam server would be free however it is possible that the steam engine fetches the data from multiple sources in which case data would be used outside our network and therefore charged.

One would need to ensure that the content is being downloaded from our steam server which is setup in the FreeZone in order to fully reap the benefit and which I am currently investigating :)

I will post updates on our forums (forum.webafrica.co.za) or the blog (blog.webafrica.co.za) :)

Cool Jonathan! Is it live yet?
