If anyone has problems getting the demo downloading while using google chorme try using another browser. Works with Firefox.

**Kazza** · 21-10-2010 00:18

let the bug reports flow

...too many injuries i give 2-1 odds as the first then defenders as 3-1, corners 5-1 the rest bar!!

**Coasterkoa** · 21-10-2010 00:18

I'm American and I got it. You have to restart steam. Also, the demo doesn't show up if you search and let the drop downs try to match what you've typed, you have to literally search for "Football Manager 2011 Demo" and when you click search, it will be there.

Thanks SI!

**Shadowwarrior346** · 21-10-2010 00:19

Yes, I finally found it and I'm now downloading with 2,7 mb/s and have reached 40 %

**reflection22** · 21-10-2010 00:19

Is the demo size supposed to be 1.98GB btw? Seems kinda big, or am I somehow downloading it twice?

**acmilano112000** · 21-10-2010 00:19

East Coast USA working via steam.

If clicking "install" button on steam page doesn't do anything keep trying and restarting steam. What worked for me was closing Steam client, and opening it through the link from the Mirror website.

1.8mbps. 8 minute download total. America. Boom.

**thankgodforquinn** · 21-10-2010 00:19

downloading now and just time to play my last game on fm2010 Sunderland vs Newcastle, nice little finisher

cheers Si

**jasonboyacmilan** · 21-10-2010 00:19

**englandmanager** · 21-10-2010 00:21

i guess peoples frustration just proves how addictive SI have made this game

although i bet it frustrates SI workers just how people act sometimes, i bet they just think atleast it's that successful people are raring to get on the demo

**kaputz** · 21-10-2010 00:22

For those who clock on the button and does nothing, just restart steam and click there again... i will work
For who say unavailable on your region, just change the region, and when it's over change again.

**bcooper** · 21-10-2010 00:22

Off topic, but imagine if the UK had kept their side of the oil money rather than ****ing it up the wall in the form of tax cuts?

**Coasterkoa** · 21-10-2010 00:25

Haha, took seven minutes. Sometimes soccer not being as popular here is a good thing :P.

**Standard liege!** · 21-10-2010 00:25

**TheMister** · 21-10-2010 00:25

This is RUBBISH. The game's broke.

8 injuries in my first game. The corner bug doesn't work anymore. The AI is scoring from the halfway line. Wingers aren't cutting in like they should.

When do we get our first patch SI?!?!?

NONE of this is true of course. Still won't stop people complaining though.

**paulo_ac** · 21-10-2010 00:28

Day off followed by week off just in time for the demo, genious timing!

**TheMister** · 21-10-2010 00:28

Forgot - regens are broke too

**bearsy2** · 21-10-2010 00:29

Wow. Finally a decent intro to an SI game. Impressive.

**bcooper** · 21-10-2010 00:29

Can the community do me a favour and tell me if you've been able to download from your own language STEAM sites if you are in France, Spain, Finland, Denmark, please?

Thanks

**Becanes** · 21-10-2010 00:29

It is downloading for me. I am in the US on the east coast. I restarted steam a couple of times and hit the install link several times and it finally started downloading. Good luck to everyone.

**Standard liege!** · 21-10-2010 00:29

Yesss I am in

It's Pompey time \o/

**lmarsha_926** · 21-10-2010 00:30

I keep getting

"The steam servers are to busy to handle your request, please try again in a few minutes"

Seems FM is even managing to break Steam

**paulo_ac** · 21-10-2010 00:30

oh no, it peaked at 595k now paused completely....!!!

**Swaggerfeld** · 21-10-2010 00:30

downloading.. steams sucks a bit after all, but not complaining, in a few minutes i'll be playing FM2011 and im the happiest man on the planet, along with you guys offcourse

**The Chosen One** · 21-10-2010 00:30

59% (7 minutes and half left... you idiot that was 5 minutes ago!!) This is worse than pure torture

**Kanukki** · 21-10-2010 00:30

After following this thread for the last few hours, I think the whiny minority need to ask Miles' and the rest of SI's forgiveness.

I'm simply struck by the irony of how much of their free time they work, so that we can play during our work time.

Thanks you guys.

**-lewis-16-** · 21-10-2010 00:30

Very impressed SI. Never used steam before, and that worked without a hitch.

**Igorchete** · 21-10-2010 00:30

Download speed - 180 kb/s max.
Am i the most unlucky person in the world or what?

**pelicanstuff** · 21-10-2010 00:30

That was the fastest I've ever seen such a big file download.

**hugo_rune** · 21-10-2010 00:30

Wow was not expecting it this early

Just woke up, burning through the download now (730 KB/sec, connection limit basically). Love Steam.

**mikeytk** · 21-10-2010 00:30

Cannot connect to Steam servers. Goddamnit!

Are you just trying to get at people and re-start arguements that are finished?

**CoBTX_xX** · 21-10-2010 00:31

i couldnt download it from "Non English speaking people that aren't in the countries above" in Mexico
