You can redownload games that you have purchased from steam. Unless steam itself goes bust you can download your games for eternity.Quote:

We reconfigured the hardware to cater for additional content as we are planning to host the "full mirror content server". The upgrade and installation of the server back into the DC to my understanding was completed last night and is now awaiting Steam content installation from Valves side. As soon as that is completed and I have the information regarding the streaming time frame I will be sure to post here and update everyone on the forums as well :)
Give the guy a break, he's probably on leave till the 4th of January, same as the rest of us ;) I'm sure he'll give us an update when he's back.
On a side note, for another 11 hours, you can get mass effect for just $5. Awesomness is :D
At least we know there is going to be a content server :).
How would we now if the sever is running.And how r we gona use this
I always believe too think ahead and a fool will deny it so help plz
thx
They will let us know when it's running and how to make use of it. Tinman will have a news report on the day that it happens.Quote:

Will this affect playing MW2? does it mean it wont eat international bandwidth to play online?

A steam account will make use of international authentication however once you start downloading from our server no bandwidth would be charged :)
Since the server is in the FreeZone this has the additional benefit of eliminating the need for setups using route sentry or other methods ;)
All the required details will be provided closer to launch however the initial test prognosis looks very very good :)
What are the odds of ever getting a local Auth-server? Is this possible at all? :confused:Quote:

They better put enough bandwidth in, 'cause this puppy's going to eat bandwidth and hopefully not shit latency ;)
Its all a moot point for me since I'm on uncapped. *shrug*
Claiming it! :(:(:(:(Quote:

This includes downloading from our STEAM content server or the WAGE media section; Chatting on our TeamSpeak or just gaming on our WAGE servers ;)
so much of nice.
I'll be switching from my IS account in about two weeks to WAGGY :p
Please tell me it's almost ready... :p
Wanna spend my money on WA accounts ;)
It should be soon :).
Hello :)

http://forums.webafrica.co.za/showthread.php?t=3221
The suspense is driving me to distraction.
I know. I cant wait either, they keep on saying its coming but no date.
But it looks promising and hopefully soon, yehaw!
I want to play STALKER Clear Sky :(.

At the current transfer rate, the remaining 2 and a half TB hurdle wont take very long at all :)
I saw the new prices WAJohnathan. It's very disappointing. :(
I'll support you guys because of the Steam server though.
I will sticking to afrihost as my main isp and using wa prepaid for steam once the steam server comes active. There is no way I am paying nearly double for the same amount of cap.Quote:
