Steam not letting me download most of my DLC

Unread postby bpetit » Thu May 02, 2013 9:34 am

It says I'm getting 48gb but will only download 20gb. I've verified after twice to no avail.

I'll suggest that you send this information to both Steam and RCS support. However, the culprit may also be your internet connection.

Harry, I am sure you have a large file and it takes quite a while.

School is out around here, they had the Prom the other day, that means the kiddies are on the NET all day long now. Took me 25 minutes to upload 6 meg last night. Normally that would be less than a minute.

Like it says disk space required approx. 50,000 mb but only getting 20,000 mb.

Where did it all disappear to? I cannot find any trace of the folders.


Edit: I've shot off an email to support.

Did you get the 'read only' box unchecked? It needs to be.
