That 6 to 12 hour wait in line is at file planet. Most of the time I hit the patch downloads the day it comes out (I goto planey half-life every day).
A couple of times I was lucky to get in near the top of the line, but It think that was because it had just been posted on planet half-life. Most of the time its a 3 to 6 hour wait. It once took me 12 hours to get one file because I had just about gotten down to like the last 10 in line and the power flickered which of course cause my computer to shutdown!!! :bh::cens::bh:
