Steam preload is up?

Firing up bootcamp now... goodbye social life!

i can also confirm the steam preload is live.

5.854GB - ETA 32 Minutes.

3.0MB/s really pays off at times like these....

Gad Damn it! Isn't steam suppose to be the first to pre-load than anybody else?? why the hell would i get from steam at a more expensive price then, if i don't get the priority download from the other supplier??

Not yet buck-o. preload means you get to download a big mess of encrypted files. you cant play the game until Steam unlocks the files at the time of release.

so you still have 2 more days of social life available.

IT STILL DOESN'T WORK FOR ME!! I AM REALLY DISSAPOINTED!!

I'm not getting a preload option from Steam yet. I did exit and restart client. Might be rolling out by region or batches just to prevent everybody from clicking start at the same time.

EDIT: Working now.

U're going to be so disappointed in a few hours when the game is done downloading and realization that the game doesn't unlock for 2 days - it's going to hit you like a ton of bricks

I've never been able to go past 1.8mb/s on steam even with 15mbps connection, is there something I can do to speed it up? Already have 20% downloaded so not a big deal.

You are getting exactly what you should be.

15mb/s is not 15MB/s

mb = mega bits

MB = mega bytes

there are 8 bits to one byte

8 * 1.875MB/s = 15mb/s

Good, I got the pre-loading up. I was afraid I might have had to crack some skulls.
