The unused content servers probably don't have the update on them to
serve out to users at that particular point in time for some reason or
other. Filtered content servers are restricted by IP address ranges,
not to specific Steam user accounts.
Running your own content server is a
Supply and demand!
Anyway, I think the main problem is the fact that clients/servers get the
update at the exact same time. Maybe servers need dedicated content servers
from Valve instead of trying to use the same ones as all the clients.
Either that or the download method used by the update
How much bandwidth a month? I didnt say it would be cheap, if people helped
pay for it though it could work. Adding IPs works just as well.

Isn't it a possibility that we host a private content server for anyone who
chips in a few bucks? I would be more than willing to pay a few to have a
private content server to be able to update my servers decently without the
standard steam update hell. I have all the possibilities to set up a

damn it, it is released, test to run an update.

with hlds_fuck.exe anymore, but we suffered and lost players in some way

Looking at that... they might get more servers if window wasn't a
requirement.

Now it could be me, but exactly why would I need to provide complete and

One of the principals of securing servers: don't give out your password.
It even says so on
I think the reason they need an admin account is so that they are able
to install the software for you. I doubt they are going to let you
screw it up, and chances are that they don't have the time or people to

If you rented a dedicated server from a host would you expect remote desktop

Just curious why would it be any different if it was linux or windows ?
(besides the small monthly fee) On a side note we have sent off an email and
will provider a few content servers for valve and the community.

I'm with msleeper on this one.. in fact I believe this is exactly what many
GSPs end up doing (for example, NFO.)
AFAIK the primary benefit of the service is for people who maintain very
large numbers of servers and want to be able to roll out updates via
automation -- or at least offer that
Pretty much, it's pretty silly for an individual to provide content servers
unless you feel like blowing money. You also get a banner ad as well as a link
back on the content server page. Any other benefits I am unaware of ?

We do it for our customers (ISP) so we call provide it as free quota
(Australia uses a quota system for net acess). Running a local server
will increase the likely hood of your client using it for updates, but
doesn't guarantee it. To do that you need to use an ip filter like
steamwatch.
And in Australia, this is a godsend. Take 100 games on steam
multiplied by several GB each, and you have several months of
downloading if it wasn't for unmetered content.
I got the CodeMasters pack the other week ($17.50 for 5 racing games).
Those games were 40GB in downloads. I am on a
