If you are getting lousy speeds you can try switching the Steam download server to do so go to "Steam - Settings - Downloads+Cloud - Download region" and pick the region closest to you. Steam should ususally continue downloading where it left off but if the game files got deleted or corrupted for some reason then you can either redownload it or get a friend with great connection and download it at his/her house.

well When i was downloading it before it was 3.5gb now 6024 mb or sumthing?

The pre-load size was 3.5 GB the actual game is about 6GB so everything is correct there. Dunno why the pre-load was so much smaller though.

what was preload enyway what did it do may i ask
FluffyPotato Apr 26, 2013 @ 1:08pm 
It downloads most of the game files before the game was released so there wouldn't be so much to download when the game is released.

how long do you think it will be if it was rate 80-200 kbs?:)
FluffyPotato Apr 26, 2013 @ 1:15pm 
At a constant 200 kb/s rate and if the game is exactly 6 gb then it will take just a little bit more then 524 minutes. I would suggest changing your download region because with a 10 megabit connection you should get atleast 1 megabyte/s download speed.
