How to Stop a Steam Workshop Download If you're having trouble stopping a Steam Workshop download or if it simply won't work as expected after installing Source Mod (SMD), this article is here to help.

Firstly, let's cover the basic steps for pausing and resuming downloads in Steam.

1. Open up your Steam client.

2. Click on 'Steam' located at the top left corner of the window.

3. From the drop-down menu, select 'Settings.'

4. Within this new window, click on 'Downloads/Updates.'

Here you'll find a list of all active and pending downloads currently being processed by Steam.

To stop an ongoing download:

1. Hover your mouse over the specific item or mod that's causing trouble.

2. Clicking on it will bring up additional options at the right-hand side panel.

3. Select 'Stop Download.'

If you're still having issues after trying these steps, check if there are any pending updates for Steam itself.

Alternatively, you can also try clearing your browser cache and temporary files before attempting to download again from within Steam or directly through a web browser like Google Chrome.

Lastly, ensure that Source Mod (SMD) is properly installed on your system. If it isn't already, follow these simple steps:

1. Launch the Steam client.

2. Click 'Steam' at top left corner > then select 'Library.'

3. In the new window, click on 'Tools' located in upper right hand side of Library window (looks like a hammer & wrench).

4. Within this Tools menu, choose 'Manage Community Content...'

5. From here, scroll down until you see Source Mod under 'Installation Status'.

6. Click “Add” to download and install it if prompted.
