Help! Steam is constantly going down everyday!

[Player1 the 2nd]

Please help me because this is getting very annoying,its been happening for 2 weeks now when steam suddenly goes down at least 3 times a day! Eventually after 5-15 minutes it comes back but it is getting very annoying especially in the middle of a game! =( Please can someone explain? I was playing L4D2 the other day and met someone who was having the same problems,but no one else was complaining. When steam is down and I go to check if i still have internet my internet is fine,watching youtube and all everytime! So its not my internet? or is it? Ive been with steam for months now and this has never happened.Please just let me know if you are having the same problems or know a way to fix this!

This happened to me earlier this week for a couple days. I could login, but storepage/community/etc would not load. Even thru a web browser (Chrome and IE)

Possible solutions:

First you can try opening a command prompt and type: ipconfig /flushdns

This has worked for me in the past more than a few times. This last time tho it did not resolve my issue and I tried everything I could from my end, restarting the router & updating firmware, restarting the modem, directly connecting to the modem, disabling firewall/antivirus, etc., etc. nothing worked.

What I did was go into my steam directory and deleted everything besides the steamapps folder and the steam application. Make sure your screen shots you want to keep are not there or copied. I rebooted my PC after this but it may not be necessary. When you run steam thru the explorer it will automatically redownload everything and all of a sudden it was working for me again!..Sort of. I did get a few more errors after this but it worked again after waiting a couple minutes.

Now everything is fine and have no problems with loading the store.

Is this still going on for anyone else? I still get about 10-15 minutes of downtime randomly from Steam except games.

I just restart it.

I haven't got any disconnects in the past month, I'm not really sure why. All my downloads go fast, I can play multi-player fine. I do get Error -118 or -336 from time to time when viewing a page, but a hit of the F5 key and it's working dandy again.

Its stopped for a while for me ^^ Thought it was fixed but it came back 2 days ago =(

I rarely have Steam outage... except for the community servers (activity page etc), that has issues almost every day.

Sounds like a problem with your internet service providers. DNS troubles, a server down inbetween you and the Steam server/s (a traceroute can help determine this), ect. I would call your ISP and see what they have to say about it.
