I can top that.

I queued for steam. the software. over night.

Back in 2003 when steam launched, hosting was still a bit tricky, and serving software to a ton of people at once, was not as easy as it is today.

When steam launched, you could download just the steam client like today, and install stuff via steam. But it was very slow and buggy as hell

So a couple days after launch, they started to release steam bundled with CS 1.6, so you didn't need to install it via steam.

But that was of course a much bigger download. And a TON of people wanted it.

So they published it via a download service that integrated a queue, so they could still provide some reasonable bandwith to the people downloading.

I remember that I joined the queue in the evening before bed, let the family computer run over night, started the download before school, and the download was roughly finished when I came back home.
