WANRING: I suck at ranting!
Is there some way to increase the download speed through Steam? Because right now I have a 3-3.5mb download DSL and so far apparently the highest it went is 125KB
BUT OMG! COME ON! Are you freakin' serious?
I have more luck pirating a game, because the speed actually goes up to what I have than going legit with Steam...
But the worst part is, that it is a legit copy of Counter Strike Source, and it's really pissing me off that it takes it download just as much as it takes to download a whole season of...lets say...Robot Chicken...
Soo...Is there some hack or something like a download accelerator that forces Steam to actually use all the download rate I have rather than barely going at 52.1KB...
Or...Is there a torrent or something, of a legit copy, not cracked...That I can download within half an hour rather than waiting for Steam to do it for me...
Because right now it's at 58%...But what if I actually want to play the game before 5pm, when I have work... Come on, Valve should really invest into faster servers... With all this talk of Fiber Optics I am very surprised that a company like Valve even allows there servers to go at just terrible(dial-up) like speed...

No there is not, this is a waste of a thread. If I were you, I would disconnect (stop the download first) exit Steam. Then reconnect to see if the speed improves. If it does not, then just let it download and walk away to do something else.
Steam is basically using a sort of torrent type technology as it is for downloading stuff across multiple servers. You might also want to check to ensure that your Steam connection settings (within the Steam client itself) are set to the correct bandwidth settings for your current broadband connection.

Oh god! It was the damn connection settings, I had the DSL/Cable > 2M setting, Now switched over to the top one, even though I have neither Cable or Fiber, and finally am getting high speeds...
Thanks!

You are quite welcome. The connection settings is a normal culprit of this. ;)
