webafrica: download from their steam server without using bandwidth !

[Deceptor]

Anyone else having trouble using the server at the moment?

my patience just ran dry. I wish help desks / help centres were ran like when I used to work on one... nothing is done or closed till it's properly resolved. any one else suffering from no-help, but cap used instead of FZ ?

true. but there is quite a difference in giving the server a break which we all have and some one closing my ticket 3 times in a row without having the issue resolved. that is what my complaint is about. for the FZ/Steam i can guarantee you that we all are thankful..

Web Africa are a company. Companies do not get "given breaks" if they want our money in return. Perhaps the server should give his wallet a break, instead.

I understand that there may be teething problems, but they can't expect their customers to suck it up and deal with it.

Anymore feedback?

Well last week I fully updated TF2 without using any of my cap, I also downloaded the Just Cause 2 demo with no cap usage. So all in all it looks good so far.

This service is awesome. One thing I noticed using Webafrica, was that their shaped accounts basically act as unshaped accounts. I always get a low and stable latency. I see people complaining everyday about lag, or line issues or repairs here and there etc. , but with Webafrica I have never felt any of this.

Tried using it to download Psychonauts (eventually). Initially I got 25MB freezoned at the beginning but with repeated tries, many suspended downloads and steam resets (following Tarryn's tutorial) I had no further luck. So I sucked up the 3.8GB needed for it. Sad when no amount effort could get it to work in my case.

well for now uncapped via imagineIPS works wonders with steam, gog and direct2drive.... till fz is sorted.
