So, um, when are steam servers NOT busy?

[venk]

Everytime I go to redownload HL 2 from my steam account I get an error that says "Steam Servers are currently to busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes."

I even tried starting the download at 4 am, but still the same error.

Any help on when to try and download the game?

Re-download the steam client and make sure wherever you download the client to is empty and doesn't have parts of the old game there.
