Wohoo biggy big update. Friends is officially out now. The defrag option is very interesting. Read that Valve recognized a bad mistage on last hardware surway. They realized that the steam cache files got a bad fragmantation. So your able to defrag em now. And its possible to get up to 600% !!! faster loading times.
If thats working - wow. Nice one Valve.
