Steam – Continuing downloads on Steam

steam

I purchased Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege a while ago and I was waiting for a good time to download it so I wouldn't go over my monthly quota.
So earlier this month I started downloading it but had to stop after 35GB, with about 40GB remaining.
Then I finished my new build (Ryzen R7 2700X) and started using it. Unfortunately the 35 GB of download was on my old PC.
I don't want to have to restart the download. How do I transfer the downloaded files so that when I start to download it again on my new PC it picks up where It left off?

Best Answer

There should be a folder called Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/downloading which contains files currently being downloaded. You'll need to start the download on your new computer, pause it, get the files off your old computer (from /downloading), navigate to Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/common/Rainbow Six Siege, and put the files (from the old computer) there (the new computer).

Verify the integrity of your game files in the game's Properties > Local Files window. Then, continue your download. Steam should now pick up from where you left off on the last computer.
