This is what Eric posted on the steam list: Steam Beta 2.0 Admission Suspended The Counter-Strike and Team Fortress communities have maxed out the Steam 2.0 beta servers, resulting in the temporarily suspension of admission to the beta as more content servers are put online. The current Steam content servers offer over 500 megabits of bandwidth, all of which the community is consuming right now. Anyone interested in hosting a Steam content server should email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Content server requirements can be found at www.steampowered.com.) Those who have already joined the beta are encouraged to continue their participation and submit their feedback

Release Info & Mirrors The BETA release of Steam 2.0, which allows access to Counter-Strike 1.6 BETA, has been suspended. Due to some members of the gaming press leaking copies of Steam, the 500 megabit content servers have been filled to their capacity. To be fair, if Steam couldn't handle an unofficial release it probably wouldn't have done well with an official release either. uhh What did valve expect?? There are probably not enough 1.6 servers out there either due to the non-release of the Linux version...... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
