download complaints

75th post! woot woot! and also, that homework i was procrastinating on in my last blog post - i got it all done. so there. B)

but that's not the subject of this blog post. my uncle informed me of the marvelous fact that the game Portal is available for free (at least until May 24th) on Steam. steam is pretty cool - i downloaded it last night - but i started to download Portal last night, and as i speak, it still hasn't finished downloading yet. that's probably because, whoop-de-do, it became paused sometime last night. except for the fact that neither i nor the rest of my family paused it. that's my first complaint. my second is this: "time remaining" counts are totally inaccurate. (this applies to other downloads too.) i know this because just last night, i saw the time remaining go from:

1 year
to
22 hours
to
9 hours
to
8 hours 30 minutes
to
9 hours.

as of right now, the time remaining count is 21 minutes 27 seconds, but as i typed that, it jumped to 19 minutes and then to 24 minutes. i got up early.. for this. i mean, i've also been playing farmville and what not, but i was looking forward to trying out portal. ah well. with my luck, it'll finish downloading right as i'm about to go to school.
