I open the appmanifest_515220.acf file and see this:

"AppState"
{
"appid" "515220"
"Universe" "1"
"name" "F1 2017"
"StateFlags" "1030"
"installdir" "F1 2017"
"LastUpdated" "0"
"UpdateResult" "0"
"SizeOnDisk" "0"
"buildid" "0"
"LastOwner" "76561198048549724"
"BytesToDownload" "22385597168"
"BytesDownloaded" "10870544176"
"AutoUpdateBehavior" "0"
"AllowOtherDownloadsWhileRunning" "0"
"UserConfig"
{
"language" "brazilian"
}
"InstalledDepots"
{
}
"MountedDepots"
{
}
}

What is stateflags 1030 mean?

All my files are downloading here: D: \ steam \ steamapps \ downloading \ 515220

I can copy the contents of this folder when the download is almost complete, pause the download, put the files in: D: \ steam \ steamapps \ common \ F1 2017?

can i Change "StateFlags" "1030" to: "StateFlags" "4" ?

(4 says the game completely installed)

Please help me, I have a bad connection of only 2mbs ... it is terrible to download every night 20.8 gb

Can you provide me with the stateflags codes so that I manually change in order to avoid that again the game is downloaded and deleted again by steam?

THANKYOU I REALY NEED HELP!

So let me get this straight.. It downloads your game.. Is it playable afterwards?

No, after download complete, steam tell me the game have update...

But the update is the same size 20.8gb and steam delete everything on f1 2017 and download everything again, again, again... :/

When this happens it can usually be either your download cache is messed up and you should clear it under Steam settings. It WILL have to redownload this again though.

Or it is your hard drive packing up.

You can check this by downloading something like Crystal Disk Mark (or whatever it's called these days) and let it intensively check your disk. It may take a couple of hours, but let it run. It will tell you if there's issues.

And if it does report there's some dodgy sectors or something, get any important data off there ASAP.

Change steam DL zone.to chack its not that issue.

And some games has been caught in qurrantine folder anti virus app before, then you will never could dl them unless you make exception rules or clear them as okay.

And do not be a win7/8 past OS user steam do not support DL to old OS after compression has been update for 1gbit lines and with win10+

win7 & 8 dont have MS support anymore.

Why dont you validate game intergroty of files content, it will do that though steam DL and check content is right, it will only start to DL with things not match current game devs files.

im sorry we miss that statement, then it look like DL froma server was the issue.
thats the porlbemwiht steam use DL script then validating and DL is actual 2 diffrent things.

Any experience can tell you this DL and file compare check is not same thing even then it satrt to DL them then lets say games devs has update its content. also why you recive a update patch, but somehow you have old files in DL Sections, but get stuck with it,

and we are back at antivirus apop blocking issue, maybe or as CF point out not enough free storage space. 2-3 time more storage sapce is needed.

Someone bump it, this is old news and steam moderator job to deal with it, and they dont,

How come you cant see the issue and why have you not report it as necro post as you should.

Steam is not going to play police here, and all can wake all post's as they see fit, steam has a issue and we all know it.

Steam own problem to deal with post, that someday even OP is dead and gone, this is seen before. we are not the problem here steam is, in have old post that can be necro as steam user see fit.

And what prevent steam from change the rules in forum policy and lock all post after 1 years later then date it was made, or no new update over a year so many ways to deal with it. ( nothing ) and why do i need to tell you this, any NOC support center or ticket master know this have open ticket that stay open or auto close scripts end it after a month if they dont get any update, this is old news from all who has ever worked with such topic's.

and yes we know its not a ticket but have you seen some game devs forum with user and no reply from gamed devs or other user over several years as top post, should they not be locked no forum user want to reply on any poat that is old. ( whatever that is ) month even start to feel like old for many of us.
