Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in. For example content server 150 should be in finland but if nothing has changed since i last checked, it's physically somewhere in netherlands or germany. Propably due to bandwidth being more cheap there than here.

Just throwing this out there, it would be great if Valve recognized some of the Standard Country and Area codes defined by the United Nations:

I think it would solve a lot of headaches if admins could just put their region codes into their Steam configs and have it automatically use the nearest content servers.

The numbers on the web page are not the same. You can see the real
numbers somewhere in the Steam client log, but don't ask me where.

You can do Steam.cfg next to your Steam binary and into that, put this
line: PreferredContentServerIDs = "150 97 98 113 114 80 94"
Where the numbers are content server numbers from

Hi.



I have a problem with my hldsupdatetool (./steam). Whenever I try to
update
my installations, I have to cross the atlantic to download the files.
I live
in Denmark, and my server is also located there, so I don't
understand why I
can't download the files from some European content servers. Is there
any
method to get around this? My speeds are super-slow, and it takes
ages to
download small files because of the latency/ping.
