Yep. Expect it to be like that until the end of the sale at least.

o well i did some awesome games i picked up Painkiller again since i lost one of the discs for it, Trine which is great, Cryostasis(in the middle of downloading) Penumbra black plague, and Left 4 Dead 2. It was a good sale, most of the games were prett passable but there were some really good games on sale.

I think I figured out the reason for the slow Steam servers, Go to Settings---->Downloads-----> and check where your DL'ing off of, for me they were set to D.C., which is way off from where I live, I changed it to a city

Even though, generally, that is a good way to speed up download speed, the slow speeds people have been complaining about this weekend are surely from the sales and the massive amount of people downloading because of them.

I've been getting around 800Kb/s which is about half the speed I usually get, but still good.

Steam is a bit off for me. It says on the graph that I'm getting 508 kb/s but over to the left it says 250 kb/s. Silly Steam.
