Steam Problem

Right, I reinstalled Steam the other day after a fresh format, selected to download Half Life 2 and Episode 1, downloaded them both at good speeds.

But now it says 'updating 0%' on both of them and won't me play either

.

They just won't update at all, if I restart Steam it'll go on 1kb/s for about 2 seconds then go right away.

I've verified the files and defragged them, which made no diifference.

Any ideas? :confused:

This normally happens when the Steam servers are full. Try right clicking the game and press pause update. Wait a couple of secs then right click again and hit resume and it might work. Keep trying this until you get a place on the server.

Been doing that, they sometimes get like 5-10kb/s then gradually drop down to nothing

.

This is very annoying.

Go to you steam folder (C:\Program Files\Steam)

Then go and delete the file called ClientRegistry.blob then restart steam

I ended up deleting them both from my hard drive and reinstalling from the DVD's, it went perfectly using them and they both updated fine.

I'll keep that ClientRegistry.blob file in mind for next time, Thanks.
