Download stuck on 99 percent, PLease help.

Download stuck on 99 percent. Have done 4 pages of google patches, nothing has worked yet.
Hello, so my friend was going to download civilization iv so we could play together, well now its stuck on 99 percent, with his download speed going back and forth from 2-15 KBS.
This is not his internet, due to that if we download a game that is below like a gig it installs perfectly.

I'm wondering, we installed teamviewer10 and I tried everything I could to fix it.

-Renamed ClientRegistry

-Restarted computer like 3 times

-Paused and unpaused.

-Changed download region (Yes even to japan)

-reinstalled steam

This is really annoying, and I'm wondering if anybody has a fix for this, anyway thank you in advance if people do reply to this.

try this...

change the download region
log out and completely exit steam and make sure it stops.
log back in and confirm the change stayed like you left it...

try this several times....but do it like is suggested here

also check your "Games" tab up top and make sure there is no entry that looks strange or out of place...saw this on an old thread so it may not apply anymore

edit...if this does not work, try to boot into safe mode with networking and then log in and finish the download and log out and reboot into windows and log in and check it again

Ok.. so, i had the same problem when i was downloading Hollow Knight. I tried to fix it with solutions from quite a bit of websites and nothing seemed to work. Suddenly, when i uninstalled and installed the game it was working. I already did that when i first saw that the download wasnt finishing, but that time it didnt work. So for some fixes you have to reinstall the game or else they wont actually work. I dont know what it was that fixed it, so i will just link the websites that i got the fixes from.
Sorry for bad english.

did any of you found any fix for this yet? I have been getting this since last night and the funny thing is, whenever I download something, for example Stardew Valley, my game folder is completely empty and the download is stuck at 99

okay just to confirm, VPN does work but it appears to be temporary :/

What you need to do... is, grab a baseball bat and freaking smash it
