    Literally for the past 5 hours now I've been trying to download The Witcher, It will go up to 600 KB/s and then drop down to 0 then go all the way back up again, is the problem just that alot of people are downloading from steam at this time or is my connection a problem, I do have my firewall up and the approximate speed of my connection is set to DSL> 256k
