This is usually an issue with a router interfering with the download process. The simplest way to check this is to unplug your router and connect your computer directly to your modem to see if the issue persists. If not, you may be able to resolve the router issue using this guide: Troubleshooting Network Connectivity General TroubleshootingIf this is for a pre-load of a game or for a regular game install, go to the properties for the game, found here: Steam > "Play Games" > <right-click on your game> select properties. Regular Game DownloadsIf this is for a regular game download and you are unable to get the game to update, then try changing the automatic update to "do not automatically update this game" , wait a minute, then switching it back to "always keep this game updated". Of course, if the game was set to "do not automatically update this game" then change it to "always keep this game updated" and let the rest of the game download. Note: Games like Condition Zero requires content from Counter-Strike so you need to make sure both games have all the content acquired if you are having problems with CZ. CZ Deleted Scenes requires content from both Condition Zero and Counter-Strike, so all three need to be 100% acquired for everything to work. Game PreloadsFor Game preloads, you will typically have the option to "pause" or "continue" the preload. If you don't see any activity in the Steam download Monitor (always check there to see if you have any activity) then what you can do is "pause" the download, wait a minute and then "continue" the download. Further TroubleshootingIf this procedure fails to get things moving, the next step is to exit from Steam and delete the clientregistry.blob file typically located: C:\Program Files\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob The next time you run Steam it will do a short platform update and then it should finish the game updates. Again, be sure to go check all the game properties and make sure they are set to "always keep this game up to date". Steam RateIt's also very important that you make sure your Steam "Rate" setting is correct for your internet connection, go to: Steam > Settings > Internet > Internet Connection Speed If you have an incorrect low connection speed set then it may take a very long time for you to acquire the game content. Dialup UsersThis may happen if Steam is expecting information faster than your connection can provide it. This typically occurs when Steam is not set to the correct connection speed. To resolve this issue, please either re-install Steam and ensure to select 56 kbps as your connection speed, or you can manually make that setting in your registry:
