Question Local Steam Server

When can we expect to see the server go live? And I can't tell you guys how grateful I am for it.

This will certainly have a major impact on the digital distribution of games throughout the country. I mean, it will be the first for me to buy a digital game and download it entirely.

Apologies, I cannot give you an exact timeframe at the moment, i apologise. I have verified it is online, but doesn't seem to be responding, even with Steamwatch. I'll continue to bug the Valve guys till they can give me / us the deelio, and we'll be reporting here ASAP!

lawl, no apologies needed, it should I that should apologize for my constant nagging

But let us at least know if the downloading is done or what? If the problem lies with some technicalities or something other than simply downloading.

also, how do we ensure that steam uses the WA server every time, or will we have to use the steamwatch app? If so, plz compile a readme and everything we need.
