^^ offine installer doesnt exist. It doesnt work as your college blocks some ports. See this *support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711

you can try a VPN but that is against Steam EULA and may even get you banned.

For new members, steam always takes long times to start, I don't know why. It takes lesser time later on. Confirmed from Reliance 2G netconnect.

I have been using steam for years now and it still takes ages to open even on 2mbps connection

I asked for a complete offline installer of steam, not the game itself. BTW, why can't steam let itself be updated over proxy?

No you can't use steam offline however if you have backup of steam game then you can use Pheonix software to install them and play the games.

Re: Steam related discussions

From my experience if steam is started at Windows startup, and you have active internet that time, i.e Direct Internet/Connect internet within a minute of Windows start, It loads faster. If it failed there, it takes time.

Nothing related to new member or old member. Yesterday I created an account for my friend. and in his machine it started in less than a minute with Tata Photon+

Re: Steam related discussions

Well I have not faced any issue in opening steam so far. Even when i was running steam for first time many members told me steam will be taking lot of time to load and client is buggy. But my experience is so far good and the launch times are faster now with new client updates

PS if you are linux user please try out steam for Linux and few games such as tf2 and indie games are there ready to play

For me it takes around 2 minutes most of the time even when I am not on a great connection. :p

Re: Steam related discussions

where can i see the downloading size of the game?
i want to utilize the steam sale to buy witcher2 but i'm afraid it might be bigger than my internet plan..if it is too big i might buy the disc.

I can't see the downloading size on the page.

Re: Steam related discussions

@guru_da_preet, better get the game from GOG, it's $4 cheaper.
Although, you can use Steam key of TW2 to redeem bonus contents from GOG.

yup, even my hometown khammam, a small town in Ap is there lol. but people come up with complaints on steam forums that their country is not listed. iirc valve said they have no interest in changing their geological location provider as of now(something in these lines).
