Update: It has apparently fixed itself.

Update:

It now appears that during downloads Steam becomes incredibly slow, to the point it is impossible to navigate via drop down menus.

Update: My original issue has returned, content servers unavailable.

Update:

Steam is still almost completely unresponsive during downloads.

Yep same problem. Seems to work eventually if I keep clicking download over and over until it starts downloading, but then stops after a minute or two of downloading.

Could you ISP or your ISP partner have a network issue, or VPN issue

Do notice you actual get a reply from steam server "Content Servers Unreachable" it did reply you or main service did link to many jumpos or to fare away. depend how you read it.

Keep in mind i and other read things diffrently ( one thing is for sure you did get a reply from steam. ( if you want more crazy ideas say so, go ahead in debug network possibilities problem is what cause this. )

First it was saying that, now it says either «no internet connection» or just nothing next to each game in downloads. It also changes constantly.I don't have any VPN. It's definitely Steam's issue.
