Well my internet is pretty shit and possibly there is someone in a third world country that makes mine look like something out of the Dark Ages but I've downloaded loads of games through Steam such as all of the Age of Wonders, Civilization 5 and Gods and Kings DLC, World In Conflict, Dawn of War and its expansions, Blood Bowl and Company of Heroes and its expansions.
You can continue the download while on a game if you can return to the desktop without closing the program like pressing the Windows button and clicking resume download button. I had to do that from time to time when I do some downloads.
Its good to have some single player games that you have to play just to pass the time while they download or just do them at night and go to sleep or go out for a bit and it might be down when you wake up, come back or play some of a single player game.
Also what is your download speed Fuzzy. That might explain why its taking a while, not much you can really do but suck it up. Well there might be something you can do, ain't nothing I can do to fix my download speed until the lines are updated which if you believe the Government is supposed to happen late this year...
