I got Left 4 dead 2 months ago and I still cannot play it because I have dial up and it takes to long to install it from off the internet. I didn't know it would take so long. I tried to bring it to staples but there computer blockes steam (the engine that i have to donwload the game from). Then I thought about getting broadband but my mom won't do it unless i find something low and it just seems like a hastle.

Is There anyway i can bring my Motherboard to a library and install it there. I saw staples had this chord that just connected the whole Motherboard to there monitor without all those other chords. What is one of those and where can I get one.

Is there any other place I can go to ask someone to install the game?

Why don't you take your hard drive to a friend's house, a friend who has a faster internet connection than yours and try to download it there? The library probably wouldn't take kindly to you using all their bandwidth to download Left4Dead, I'm sure.

LOL FAIL.

You know what helps? Reading the box. It clearly says high-speed connection on system requirements. l4d is a 4.8gb download. it'd probably say how much space is required too, in that informative little box. with that being said, you should've known better! dial-up? that's harsh mang. you sure you can even play l4d on that rig?

Nope all it says is acceptance of steam is required which is activated online, there is no little red box, you playing with words. All it says was internet is required to activate it, many games do this and i have activated them. It doesn't say all that stuff you think it says. I know because i have the box right in front of me.

Go to a friend's house for the download.  And not just your mohterboard.  The whole computer.  If the friend doesn't have an extra monitor bring that too.

And that motherboard you saw at Staples was probably just for testing parts.  You would not want to carry around a system like that.

If you need faster internet for cheap I would recommend AT&T, if available in your area.  They have a basic 1mbps line for about $25 a month (without phone service from AT&T, and $15 a month with phone service from them).  Comcast also has something for about the same price for the same speed, if available in your area..

All I got from this was that people still use dial up, huge news to me.

It was within the past year that my aunt and uncle upgraded to a 1.5mbps DSL line.

I recently made the jump from 6mbps ADSL to a 16mbps cable line, that sometimes experiences rates over 20mbps.

Hey Young22, Are you trying to download L4D to play online or to play it single player offline? If you are trying to play it online you might want to consider trying to convince your mom for a higher speed internet, Online play will be really horrible with dial up, Gameplay will lag and you will most likely also lag the other plays and could get kicked/banned from some servers for lagging. If you are trying to play it offline you could try and get a refund for the steam purchase and just buy the CD from the store, This way all of the files are on the CD and you don't have to download them. I can't think of any other ways for you to get it without getting a faster internet or going to a friend/relative's house and using their high speed internet to download it. Or you could always stick it out with dial up and leave the computer on over-night for a couple of days.  Good Luck, PM me if you have any questions.
