Steam will start downloading TF2 and make decent progress (~1GB), but then the download will simply stop. It still says "Downloading" but the rate drops to zero. Pausing and resuming has no effect. Restarting steam will allow it to download again for a while. If I wait long enough, it will eventually download a little bit more for a few (~15?) seconds.

@whereami8224 , after running the client and hitting the problem can you upload the steam.log from your Steam directory as a gist?

Well, for whatever it's worth, it downloaded completely fine today.
