Go into your settings and pick a different download location
His download's finished now, so it doesn't matter too much anymore.

I almost listened to Illogical and was going to snag the free download until it asked me for a login account. :\
Now I question if the game is even worth it registering a fake account.
There is no such thing as a fake Steam account. You either have a Steam account or not, there is no requirement to buy anything at all so you sound rather silly when you say this.

When I started my Portal download, it estimated the remaining download time at about 2 and a half hours. Roughly 22 hours later, the download finished.

I can't complain much though, because time = money, and free = happy.

Damn.... If any of my computers could play this, I'd get it....

This is why, even though we had Oblivion for PC, we were forced to get it for Xbox 360. Because the computers at this house suck and don't have graphics cards worth a shit....
Damnit, now I want the orange box for xbox 360.

Heh I had my estimated time at over 1 year.

I finished downloading it in about 5 or so hours from people flooding the servers.

GAH I really need a new graphics card.
Luckily most Portal files were preloaded from The First Slice.

I didn't need to restart anything during my download; the first time, it didn't start, claiming the servers were too busy, and I think after that it took a few hours, maybe 2-4 or so to download.

I didn't have that much hopes for this game.
I heard it was short and stuff but...once you...

Once the robot tries to kill you and you escape, the game gets so damn good !
I finished it in one go and when I beat the final boss...I had that feeling, the one you get when you beat a game you really liked and feel proud of you, when the ending is powerful and you're sad and happy at the same time.
I only got this feeling with Kingdom Hearts 2 and this game...ever...

This is one of my favorite games ever

The cake is a lie
