I am trying to play HL2 episode 1, but it is stuck at 93% updating and keeps telling me that servers are two busy.

The twist is that just yesterday I was playing the game from the beginning after finishing all the initial updates.

I checked I did not see any updates listed and anyway, I disable updating for this very reason, but it's not like steam will ever do what it should.

The questions are simple, how and why did this happen, how can I fix it and play again, how can I prevent it from happening again (not just telling it not to update, I mean a real hard prevention method), and how can I configure stem to run in offline mode, like I don't have the Internet or if my Internet goes down.

My Internet did go down temporarily yesterday, could that have caused problems?

Thanks
