Unable to download the game

[ReddRicochet]

I start downloading the game, and it says download paused instead of finishing. In my downloads menu, it says update canceled. I click resume download, and it starts the whole thing over again in a cycle.

Any ideas?

Uninstall the game.
Restart your computer.
And try again.

I've tried that quite a few times

I'm sure you've read the same google as me, but here are some ideas (nothing is too wacky when wacky things happen.

First of all, try adding more games to the download queue. I won't pretend to know Valve's server infrastructure, but according to a few forum posts you can trick the service into downloading the rest of the game by adding more games to the backlog. One user recommends adding a free game like Dota 2 or Team Fortress 2 to your queue if you don't own a second game on your account.

Counter Strike is also free, or search steam for free games. https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-to-play-steam-games


They got a whole list of things to try https://windowsreport.com/steam-download-stopping/
1. Close superfluous programs
2. Clear Steam’s download cache
3. Sync the system clock with a time server
4. Update network drivers
5. Stop the DiagTrack Service
6. Adjust Steam’s Bandwidth Setting
7. Reinstall Steam

is there a chance you could have a bug.
Install the free malwarebytes.com, update it, scan with it and remove everything it finds.

Wat are you posting about, you don't even own this game.
Go troll somewhere else.

Update, I found the problem. I had an antivirus that came with my modem, it was a Cisco AMP situation that was blocking the download. Disabled it and it worked
