Steam keeps giving me a connection time out error

[Yuki]

Hello,

Hopefully someone here might have an idea on how to resolve an issue I am currently having with Steam. Starting yesterday whenever I tried to update/download a game, Steam keeps giving me an error saying Connection Time Out on any game I try to download.

I then tried to verify my game cache on games that were already installed and after a few hours it never advanced past 0%. I have also opened a ticket with Steam in hopes that they can help but I know they can take a little while to get back to you.

I have tried the following things to no avail.
Renaming the ClientRegistery.blob file and having steam create a new one.
Setting up my router to support Steam to see if it was a port issue.
Reinstalling Steam.
Uninstalling Steam and reinstalling a fresh copy.
Refreshing Steam Files using the the command steam://flushconfig

I am currently running Windows 7 64 Bit that is up to date.

Thanks again for any help you can provide

[Yuki]

Anyone have any tips they can offer?

Also, if you are seeing timeouts, this will most likely not be software related. You most likely are seeing network latency. This can be anywhere from the Steam server to your PC. You could try a trace route to Steam and see if there is a break in the path:

open command.exe and type the following: tracert 72.165.61.187

You should see something like the following:

Trace complete.

As you seen in my tracert, there was a timeout. But, that doesn't mean I cannot connect. But, if you see see the tracert fail and the trace is not complete. That might be an indication.

I had the same issue.

Thanks theotherdan!
Restarting my modem and router fixed the thing completely... Apparently you need to restart routers from time to time, at least mine.

Funny thing is it started out fine, but I wanted to check what my password was on the account so I logged off.
And the connection issues popped up.
But also I clicked on the link in the error to steam support:
http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=11&l=english

And I got error 500 in browser, plus is it down sites said it is down not just for me...

I could also not connect to the site via browser (bad password) but on 3rd try the password was accepted. Of course it took me total of about 20 times to guess the damn captcha. >_<

[FLO.LEGEND]

No need to panic.just do this
''1- click download (0 of 1 item complete)
2- click queue (it will stop downloading)
3- logout
4- login

[nocturnalgolem0]

[sfefan.crysis]

Nothing works for me... I've been staying here for 6 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours to download a 5gb game...Still at 4gb/5.3gb... 1.3 more left to download. And it won't download at all... first it goes down to 99kb/s then to 1 and it stops... WTF should I do?

The same thing happened to me. I was trying to update CS:GO, but whenever I press update, it always says, "Connection Time out." Can anyone help me? Also I am playing on mac.

[Perry.]
