    For anyone who finds themselves with an "Install Demo" button that doesn't do anything, I suggest exiting Steam and restarting it. That worked for me.

    It has installed, I am starting it now. I will post my impressions in 15-30 mins.

    I'm trying different servers now. UK was better than Scandinavia. I'm trying some more, but I think I'll stay with UK.

    Download speeds are rather up and down for me. Goes from around 210kb/s to 350kb/s.

    At 5% now...
