There is a new Steam client update with numerous fixes. The one that really caught my eye was the first and directly impacts the issues I had with downloading UT3. There is a wave of postings in the Steam forums about download issues.
A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:
Steam Client
- Fixed possible case where Steam would get stuck with "Downloading starting..." when trying to download
- Added NTFS check when trying to install Empire: Total War
- Added new dialog to inform the user they failed to register a CD key because they do not own a game which is required to register the key (Empire: Total War Special Forces)
- Added more download regions for Australia
- Fixed several update news links for games going to the wrong page
- Added more information to the game launch display when first-time install steps are being ran
- Fixed HL2.exe hanging on shutdown
- Increased max width of links on game properties dialog (general tab) to match the now wider properties panel.
- Fixed the 'launching game' dialog always waiting for user input if there was update news available
- Updated localization files for dialog variable changes (fixes %s1 appearing in some languages)
- New notification shown when an application is downloaded or updated
- Added teamfortress.com, tf2.com, etc. to list of approved chat urls
- Fixed case where retail install would be unnecessarily slow
- Fixed third-party installers not running if an installer before it failed
- Several Steamworks updates
