I've been having odd issues with regards to Steam sync. More specifically, for about a week now Dawn of War II failed to sync to the cloud. This isn't a big deal as I don't use sync for DoWII.
However, I noticed my computer had been constantly downloading for the last few days, piling up about 1GB bandwidth usage per day from my ISP. Since I hadn't been downloading any such thing, I looked around and realised Steam was constantly "synchronizing" in the tray icon. Looking through my installed games, none of them read as synchronising. Since syncs don't show up in the downloads tab either, there's no telling what exactly is doing this.
Either way, I've disabled Steam Cloud altogether for now, and the mysterious downstream bandwidth stopped. But do use cloud sync with other games, so this isn't a very good compromise. Has anyone figured out a way to troubleshoot Steam Cloud issues like this?
