yes, its quite good, liked the simple UI, but sadly it doesnt solve the problem.

Wow, this is seriously strange, assuming that you cleaned up temp files and fixed registry.

Did you ever face this type of issue with the same copy of Windows earlier ? I'm asking because I see that only system updates (including steam) are causing problems. Rest of the downloads, like mp3s and mp4s and even rars, come out fine. Now these updates are usually parked inside system drive [C:]. Even so, the system files aren't situated beside the mp3s you downloaded (assuming you are using default download location, which is usually inside C:\Users...\Downloads\)

So, you should probably troubleshoot there. I suggest that if you are going to wait till Sunday (Windows 8) then put Malwarebytes to work. There is no guarantee, but at least you'll eliminate the possibility of a rogue app, and learn more about the problem. Meanwhile, try asking on Sevenforums as well.

switching DL location and the temp DL file location. also switched to 8.1, same thing, switched back to 7 x64.

[h=3]Have you tried Hotspot shield ?[/h]The Problem has nothing to do with junk files, viruses, browser or dm else a clean format should solve the problem.
I think its related to ip/dns.

most weird , but this was reported as one the solution to d/l beings at stuck at 99% by guys at steam forums at isp level, i really don't think you can do anything, what it means is your isp is dropping packets or even could be cause of dpi , you can try changing your dns to opendns, opennic or even google dns but if it is related to isp at ip or gateway level you really can't do much expect change isp.

any glad it worked, am marking this as most weird cases ever

Go to WiFi / LAN adapter in Network and Sharing > Properties > IP4 settings > Use these values of DNS sever instead of fetching DNS automatically ( 208.67.222.222, 8.8.8.8 )
