Update is way bigger compared to disc. No point installing from disk :/

And steam should resume the download from where it left off. That's how it happens fr me. Weird in your case.

I never had the problem with pause/resume while downloading other games.

only new patches will be downloaded.. not the whole game.. so saving in atleast some BW for you.

Anyway, I will consider getting the DVD as the last option.

Will check for any other solutions to resume the download.

CSGO been getting small updates daily these days because of operation. That is why your download resets frequently. Whenever an update is pushed existing download is revoked and started fresh. You can try to get it from friends or from cuber unkil.

Imho, valve should find a fix for this.

I have Automatic Updates disabled. So, updates are not the problem in my case, I guess.

If you download in one go then its not a problem but once you shut down the PC or exit steam then when it starts it searches the server for the game again and download from beginning as the data is modified there. I had similar problem, I just kept my PC on till it completed.
Steam is kinda weird, what worked for me may or may not work for you but you can always try.

I will try it tomorrow.

How do you guys like the new rifles update? I just haven't been able to play like earlier and it has negatively affected how I play(as my play-style involves spray rather than tap/bursts)

Second Shot

Today we’re shipping a new accuracy recovery method and new recovery rates for the AK-47, M4A1-S, and M4A4.
Accuracy Recovery Rate

Accuracy recovery rate determines how quickly the accuracy of a weapon returns to its baseline value after firing. It was previously expressed as a fixed value, but is now split into initial and final values.

Now shorter firing sequences can be designed to recover accuracy faster than longer ones, and the recovery rate for tapping/bursting/spraying can be tuned independently.
Goals

The goal is to allow players to develop and express their skill using a variety of methods of firing a weapon, by increasing the effectiveness of tapping/bursting relative to that of spraying.

Previously we shipped an update to the AK-47, M4A1-S, and M4A4 accuracy recovery rates with that goal in mind, but due to limitations of the system, the solution we employed had a downside which was a smaller but still noticeable detrimental effect on tapping and bursting. We reverted that change and went back to the drawing board, still with the same goal but without those trade-offs. Ultimately that led us to this new way of handling recovery rate.
AK-47, M4A1-S, M4A4

To start, we’re shipping new values for the AK-47, M4A1-S, and M4A4.

These three weapons are now slightly more accurate while tapping/bursting than before. Individual bullets can be fired more quickly without sacrificing accuracy, and accuracy recovers more rapidly after short firing sequences. Spraying is still advantageous in many engagements, but has the trade-offs of slightly worse accuracy towards the end of the spray and slightly slower recovery afterward.

Here are examples of how inaccuracy accumulates with the AK-47 before and after today’s change:

Next Steps

Today’s values are just a start, as we’ll continue to measure and tune them over time. One of the best ways to give us feedback about these new values is to play the game so we can gather accurate usage statistics, so hop into a game and try them out!
