I just selected to participate in a steam update beta, now its updating really slow?

[Com Truise]

Hey let me explain my situation.
I currently am using the new steam beta, and I had a look in the beta participation tab and it said I had 1 available so I clicked it, steam restarted and now its updating really slow. Steam wont actually start up cause its the actual platform thats updating, and its taking a very long time... to long really. Everyone have a look in your steam beta participation tab and there will be something you can take part in.

My question is what did I do? I dont actually know what this is changing or how big the update is altogether :/

There's a new a new beta client (it's mostly bug fixes, but they need people to test it)
It's in the setting window.

Its a really bad idea cause now I cant play any of my steam games :/

[Com Truise]

Well its put me in quite a bad situation ALOT of my games were through steam.

Hmm, just opted in for the beta, everything went fine. Dunno though.

Right click your steam shortcut, hit properties, add:

-clearbeta
