Hey guys,

Completely reinstalled windows 7.. fresh format.

Downloaded steam client... go to update and the update gets to between 10-20% then just hangs. Looses all network activity and doesn't move.

I have deleted the clientblob file and reinstalled twice. Any idea's..

Firewall is disabled, running in administrator mode, UAC is disabled and all ports opened.

This is happening to extacy aswell

dude same thing, new pc won't update either freeze's or says unavailable at this time, maybe steam is ****ed?

Sean we're both valve's bitches atm.. wat isp?

**** I used to have this problem ages ago, can't remember how I fixed it... I am fairly sure it was a program I had installed that was ******* it up (it wasn't AV or a firewall).

If I remember, Il post, lol :X

optus, install vent and come arc and xfire if you need details

to slogga, i have a new computer with just xfire, vent and firefox installed, i doubt its a program issue lol

I'm with optus as well..

I got vent.. but dont have dets anymore. PM em to me


Also i found this:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6966-IADH-1503

i sore somethink like this on the cod forums

steam often glitches like this, you sure its not just for a few days or something? servers busy something like that

it glitches like that

exit and re update it

format again C:

i had this. i backed up my games and uninstalled/installed steam from scratch. then reverted my back ups. works 100%.

might be your guys anti-virus, seems to me there are a few that interfere with Steam downloads.


Apparently XFire can also much around with Steam.
