Default TF2 - Download problems

Is anyone else experiencing problems downloading this game?

When it does finally start to download, the rate is as slow as.

I don't have this issue as a rule, though I admit I do not monitor its download speed every time it happens.

What I have is TF2 doing a lot of updates compared to every other game I have installed

Join the club. It seems Steam sold too many games over the holidays and can't really deliver. Wouldn't it be awesome if Steam implemented a BitTorrent-like system so that downloads would get faster the more people downloading.

You tried changing download region? Despite living in Vic I find I get the worst speeds when it's set as my download region. Sometimes even overseas offers better speeds too, I got 1.5 MB/S after setting it to Hungary the other day.

I found the Middle East was a good setting during the sales, assuming of course you aren't trying to get the content unmetered ...
