Hey do we need a minimum speed to download games in steam? My DOTA 2 download is stuck at 3.3/3.5 GB my Data card interference shows that i have downloaded 110+ MB since i started the download at 3.3 GB

Edit : I found on google that stucking of downloads is a common problem in steam with no proper solution
Anyone else had similar experience ?

try verifying cache files in game properties.

I get this everytime I start my PC. Even when there are no updates for Steam. I dont remember arriving it before everytime.
Is this normal?

It remains there for a min. After which steam opens.

I'm getting this for the past week too, in windows. Not so in Ubuntu.

@Vyom it happens if Steam is closed directly without clicking "exit".
Do an experiment:

Keep Steam running, directly turn off the PC. The next time you run it you'll see this.

@thetechfreak : but when I click "Shut Down" in windows, shouldn't it close all active programs, then shut down, instead of just a power off ?

Never used it, or search for it. lol

Well, I have enabled Fast shutdown on my PC. So what it does is that, while shutting down the PC, it ask from me to "Force close" the running apps if those are taking too much time to close.
And I simply say, "YES".

So you maybe true. But my PC would take forever if I grant it its own sweet time to shut down. So I guess I can live with it. :/

Anyway, I guess my new Core i5 processor can make my PC a *bit* faster!

Re: Steam related discussions

@Aaruni no. Some are forced closed. Sometimes Steam cloud sync isn't complete and hence you have the problem.

@Vyom I use Windows 7 and my PC powers off within 10s. Is 10s too much for a proper shutdown?

You failed to take into account your PC specs. You cant really compare your PC with my E350n based PC. Mine just stucks on "Waiting for applications to close". Plus I have Server 2008 R2, not Win 7, so it has more services to stop. And sometimes it takes ages.
Hence I have enabled fast shutdown.

Anyway, enough offtopic discussion. You can continue discussing over IRC, if you want.

Welcome to the club bro. Maestro cards don't work for ****. I have a Citibank maestro debit card, I know. Better to get a credit card, no hassles.

Edit: Certain Visa or MasterCard debit cards do work though. Check if your bank provides them.
