How To Restore Steam Download When Download Restarts! 

dude i tried like 3 videos and websites and yours was the one that actually worked for me thank you sooooo much

Thank you so much! It restored my 70% of my download progress in GTA V

Doesn't work! after validating the data to 100% then the download returns to 0%

It somewhat worked. After copying files from "Download" folder to "Game folder", you have to "Uninstall" the game from Steam (Right click the game > Manage > Uninstall); this will remove files from "Download" folder but your game folder files will kept. Then you click "Install" again and make sure you are installing in right disk if you are using more than one Steam library location; it will automaticly check files and will resume somewhere middle. My download progress was something like 50/60 GB but after the process it started at 24/60 GB, so I lost half the progress but recovered half glass of water too.

It worked, bless you brother. I was downloading Baldur's Gate (100 GB download) and near the middle it restarted for me the next day, I was about to give up on downloading it.

You are an absolute legend man. I was downloading Forza Horizon 5 when I needed to pause it for a bit. I came back and it was a 0%. Thank you so much! I subbed and liked!

just goes back to the way it was before

I don't think this works for updates. I just lost my entire game files and had to restart from the beginning. I went to the files with the game ID files and it was empty. Please point this out for people who are trying to restore updates

I was downloading ark but at 40gb/45gb the download restarted i got scared but after watching your video my download continued from 40gb thanks you so much bro ❤️

Thank you so much, was downloading sea of thieves (110GB) got to 70% and it restarted my whole update... this video saved me at least a day of downloading, appreciate you so much

i was downloading elden ring when the power went out all of a sudden, power came back on and my download reset, i was about to cry🤣 Thank you!

Thank You So Much Dude this saved 12 hours of my life

I downloaded 50GB of Diablo IV yesterday, and it said I needed to download 90GB total. Today, those 50GB were gone, and it said I needed 134GB. I tried this method to fix it, but it didn’t work. I don’t know how, within a few hours, the game size increased by 44GB or what happened...

you are an absolute legend i wont usually sub to channel which i view for a single tutorial but u deserver it

Hey dude, firstly I wanna say that it worked so big thanks and second I don't understand the last part like will there be a problem in the future if I don't delete that folder?

goddamn u saved my ass from re downloading an entire 100.1gb thanks to you

I love u, Yous saved 120 gb (like 2 full days for my internet connection)

Does this work w/updates since my update was 200mb but now its 30gb (for those who dont know sometimes if you close ur pc while updating a game and open it up again steam thinks its replacing files instead of updating)

Omg bro ur a life saver thank u so much I’m downloading Elden Ring and I had 46/47 gigs

dude this is like my 5th time downloading lost ark and I can't finish the download because the non sense restart, my internet is bullsht and I need to know if this method is still working, and what about if this happens again even before to complete the download? I mean, if I should do it a couple times because the download restarts 2 or 3 times more after I did this? I don't want to keep suffering waiting so long to loose everything bro 😢

I had 48gb downloaded - did this method, download continues... but from 11gb : I

the music is making me tense as shit even though its just copying the file and uninstalling the game lol

Sadly didn't work, only deleted second downloading progress, but 60gb of first downloading is still in downloading folder, but i have done every step in video, dont know what im doing wrong 😕

well i tried this but when i uninstalled it to restart the downloaded it deleted all the files i just moved and i had to start from 0 again :/

Thanks so much! I wanted to play this game with my friend and i had this problem, thought it would ruin my night tonight

it looks like it worked for me imma sub

you are a legend I was downloading war thunder (50 gb) on my 200kb download speed internet , reached 52% then restarted , I was going to jump from the window

it didnt work, just started downloading all the way from the start

I downloaded 50gb of Lost Ark. Went into the folder and there was only 2gb total of game data. No idea but I am so annoyed. Steam sucks

you saved my life i was downloading for honor which is 85 gb and then i found out it dropped back to zero this solved the issue thx again

once the update in files is done it says that the file is already opened in steam? What do I do after that

all this did was set me back to the start again after waiting 16 hours lmao

bro music felling like we are cook... thank u man video helps a lot

i was at 27.6 but came back to 14.3, still better than 0, thank you!

Oh god thank you so much. This method works perfectly!!

Thanks. PUBG went from 84% to 54% but still better than starting all again

Bro I get same problem in pubg downloading

after checking its back to 0% can you help me ?

i dont have space left on that drive do i cut those folder/? or copy to different drive?

it's still works until now thankyou

bruh! thanks! i have 1mbs download speed! and u saved me around 7 or 8 hours of download!!!

Thank you, was starting to lose my patience until I saw your video

thank you so fucking much i was genuinely tweaking after my 105gb out of 117 in rdr2 restarted

I have a problem. I was downloading apex legends, and when it finished, it restarted. After a while I found this video, so I tried it and it put my progress back to zero (it was 5% before i did this). I'm unsure whether it is due to the fact that it was 5% before I did this or if it's just me. Please tell me what I should do.

Thanks dude this worked, destiny 2 was at 99% and it was all gone before lol.

@BLR Gamer is this applicable for updates as well?

I can't find option copy game page url 😢 please help me!!! I downloaded gta v 50gb but its redownload from 1 percent😭😭

Thanks for the video saved my 4 hour still working 2024

It didn't work,and I lost my all files and It is starting from zero.

You saved me 10hours, thank you so much!

from 28gb to 1gb ...ahhh stress

Thanks brother you saved my 50gb ❤️❤️❤️❤️

bro i lost like 15 gb out of 50/60 gb i installed did i do something wrong or is this average?

nope it did not work for me i was downloading tower of fantasy then i paused it and when i came back i see that its all the way zero and i tried to follow what you did but tower of fantasy has different files so i dont know how to do this but this tutorial did not work for me

First of all, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The Background music is fine. I like it! -What am I even saying, I think I should just go to the important part...- It is currently "Checking". I'm updating this once I got more info!!! Edit: It did NOT work. This is probably bc my download stopped cuz I cleared my cache.

hi, i followed all the steps, and i saw my download go back to the last percentage it was on before it got deleted (87%) but then it would just go back to 0 and start downloading normally.

Thank you internet hero don't forget to subscribe people this guy just saved me 16 hours and 27gb worth of data
