There are sales Steam all the time, so I thought I would start a Steam files trading thread

The idea is, a lot of the games are 5gb etc which is too much for some people to download.

So two options:

Swap the Steam files of a game for another
$3 for Steam files to cover dvd's + postage (or whatever agreed on)

Note for non Steam games, all the is required is the normal retail installed files (files after they have been installed)



Instructions for sending files:
-Please use the Steam backup option. Sending the gcf files etc is against Steam rules
-If possible, backup each game individually. This minimises extraction problems

Tip
Individually backup all your games
Use 7zip/winzip etc and put them in a zip using 'store' method (no compression, very quick)
specify you want it split into dvd sizes.
Reason: DVD space isn't wasted on games that use half a dvd, or one-and-a-bit dvds


Instructions for receiving files:
Running the SteamBackup exe will put the files into Steam if you own the game

If you have any problems extracting/using the backups, PM me





Here is what I have available if anyone wants:



+Stalker (original) installed files

Nah none of this source business I'm talking about straight vanilla Half Life. Got it for the 98c US :). Would also prefer the .gcf files ass they are smaller and easier to back up. Thanks for the offer anyway

Is there anyone that can send UT3? A copy of retail version is fine. Will pay $5 for it

Whacker was going to send it to me, and I was going to send it to everyone else, but Whacker has gone on holiday.

And Stalker CS too? I've got tons of dvd's and stamps so I'm all set up for mass postal distribution :p
