It makes me laugh how a country historically known for opressing it's people gives more freedom over the internet to it's people than western countries). MGR was 25GB but the Russians released a 10.7GB custom installer with autocracker. That's another thing developers should start doing, use proper compression protocols to reduce download sizes and as a direct result reduce load on servers and waiting times. Steam has some pretty awful issues with downloading. If they release a patch for a game while you're downloading it you have to delete all your files and start again since the files on your HDD don't match the files on the server; and the installation forces you to reinstall DirectX and other drivers whereas a pirate installer lets you decide wether to install them or not, since most of the time a gaming rig will already have all that stuff up to date."}
