Steam Problems

[Thomas2]

Today i started downloading "Company of Heros" and well the download was going fine until i stopped it. But now it won't even download at all it's weird. I have nothing in the download queue, i've restarted my computer, my internet, and still nothing it says the download is "Suspended" and it won't download a SINGLE KB even if my life counted on it. literally as soon i hit "Resume Updating" it immediately says "Suspended". What can i do? i'm all out of suggestions and i need help to fix this issue.

Merry Christmas and have a happy new year!

might be that steam is overloaded from ppl dl games right now! due to the big sale!

give it a try when you wake up and if that is not working pause and unpause it (that is what i use to have to do after playing games using steam)

Hmm, I sort of had this problem too over Christmas.

I was downloading Jedi Academy and it the DL speed would bump to 100 kb/s for a second then die down to 0kb/s for 15 seconds

like this :

___/ \______________________________/ \_____________________________/ \___

I would assume this was steam trying to let everyone DL evenly. I let it do this for 1 hr then I wisened up and just went to a Euro server ( Ukraine ) at 8 PM ( ukraine was ~3AM, not in heavy use ). And I got my normal 1MB/s speeds.
