Have you tried to launch it and have it "update" that way?

I have the same problem, stuck at 99% and then it goes to download starting

if i try to launch it, a window pops up and says " The game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time."

I was wondering if anyone has a way to get around this problem?

wont work. its like the server that holds the i-fuild being very lag or some thing like that. but other games are fine.

so there's no fix for this problem!?
i've tried to delete local content and downloading it from scratch but still get the "download starting" problem

no, im still stuck too, desktop stuck at 78%, laptop stucked at 99%. looks like theres some thing wrong with the host

First, try deleting everything but Steam.exe and the folder \SteamApps\ in your default Steam directory. If the download still doesn't complete, please see the Troubleshooting Network Connectivity guide.

alright i will try that out once my download limit reset. but i dont think theres anything wrong with my home network, because every thing else is fine with steam (play online, download games...etc)

Same here. I bought the 75% off indie games package.

On my laptop, it says, Download starting and it is staying forever.
On my desktop, it says, Downloading 99% and then it changes to download starting.

I have been downloading this relatively small sized game for 2 days. It is actually the game I really want in the package.

I hope some helpful guys from the Company/Steam can see this. It is getting frustrating. All other games are done downloading and are 100% ready. My internet connection is okay, I finished downloading l4d in several hours.

Please help.

I had the same download problem. I all did was select delete local content on my partial download and restarted the download and it worked.

Same here.Tried everything.what a piece of trash steam is.
