South Park: Stick of Truth, Steam refuses to download it??

[76561198129298464]

It's getting very frustrating.

I have the PC copy of the game, and the first time I put it in Steam has a problem with simply starting (Something about servers being offline). I had to download it from the website. Then, everything goes alright until I enter my code and finally start /downloading/ the game.

I didn't use the disk at first, and tried to let Steam download it for me, but it refused to go past 3%, and never goes above 17.5 kb/s.

So I tried it with the disk, and it went up to 93%, but was basically stuck there. The highest it's gotten is 97%, before the 'operation timed out'. When it times out, it says beside the game, "Update required", even though there are no updates and I have updated Steam more then a few times.

This isn't a question of my computer download speed. My speed is fine, actually kind of fast. But it's that Steam hates me, or something, I don't know. I'm getting so worked up, I've been awake until 1am for the past two night just trying to get /something/ to work, but it doesn't, and I also find it a little stupid how Steam doesn't have a support number I could call right away.

I HAVE TRIED THE FOLLOWING:

-Uninstalled/ reinstalled both Steam and the disk (each time I start steam, it updates, so whats the deal?)
- Changed my server region
- renamed the "ClientRegistry" blob to "ClientRegistryOld"
-Deleted one of the folders (The name slips my mind, but it starts with an A)
-Made sure my computer was at maximum dl speed.
- Tried to update the game, but again, there are no updates, so I'm not sure why it keeps giving me this message.
- 'pausing' and 'unpausing' my download. just makes it worse.
- flushed and refreshed my downloads from Window's run.

Again, it won't go above 17.5 kb/s, which is bullroar because it's normally up in the 1- 2 MB/s area. I've looked around, and apparently this is just an issue with Steam.

Please help. I've waited over a year for this game to come out, I can't believe I have to deal with this mess, I'm getting so discouraged it's not even funny. Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Lucas
