=Technical Notes=
Steam used to have a huge amount of servers (some from Limelight CDN) located around the world and older versions of the software used an inefficient method to connect users to the servers. Steam has made a big improvement on the game delivery system by using 3 different high performing CDN companies, Akamai, Highwinds and Level 3.
*media.steampowered.com = Akamai
*media4.steampowered.com = Akamai
Running steam will download a small file from
*client-download.steampowered.com
If steam is outdated, it will need to download the updated files by randomly selecting one of the CDN hosts and that host will be used to serve the files.▼
