Thank you guys - I have a 2TB hard drive with 618GB free.

When you start getting overfull on your drive(s) you will see Steam stopping downloads, or try to download on other drives and other weirdness. But, if you are wanting to download another 50GB game, you won't have enough space because you'd need to allow up to 150GB. So, if you have a 1TB drive, and you've used 850GB that's 85% used and you're fine, you have 50GB to play with. On top of this, any games you donwload, you should always allow up to THREE times the total download space for all that sorting and stuff to carry on. As Steam games are encrypted and compressed, Steam requires you to have your install dfrive no fuller than 90% used. However, you can get problems if you also fall for another fallacy. If you check your downloads screen and look at the graph you should ssee that disk activity and CPU activity are still going at it. How it works is simple - Steam downloads a chunk, it then has to decrypt and uncompress this, meaning it gets sorted and then written to it' s final destination on disck before starting in the next chunk. Payday 2 and Ark are notorious examples for this. Steam downloads games both encrypted AND compressed.Now, all games are different in how they handle downloads, but generally speaking this is why they stop and start. Steam works very differently to other services even on PC and a lot of people wrongly make the assumption that if it's fine on PS it should be fine here.
