Can't install Borderlands 2; Error 53/55

[SquishyMuffin]

I've already donwloaded it. When I press play it brings up a game installation window. That goes to 100% then a message appears saying "The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for Borderlands 2. Error Code (55 or 53 can't remember).

Is there a actual problem here on my end, or do I wait for Steam to sort their servers?

If you have McAfee, turn off Real-Time Scanning. Let the update install. Enter the game. Exit the game. Turn McAfee Real-Time Scanning back on. Done deal. Jump back and kiss yourself.

Yes! Thanks turtle head. I followed all of your instructions (to the last detail lol). Solved.

Yeah, quite a known and 'deja vu' issue. Wonder why there's no sticky already.
