steam
I have just bought Civilization 5 online through Steam as they had a promotional weekend. They were quick enough to take my money but the game does not download and now they won't respond to my mails to the support desk.
Any ideas? Do I simply call my CC provider and block this?
Does anybody who went through a similar experience have a solution?
Steam has recently introduced an option to queue up games to be installed through a web interface. Make sure the target PC is running the Steam client, then go to your games list on the Steam website (the easiest way to do this is to click Community -> Profiles -> Games in the Steam client), open the All Games tab and click the install button next to the games you want to have installed. If not all of your games are showing up, click on Per page: All at the bottom of the page.
This is massively faster than going through the usual install dialog.
I don't know when this changed, but now you can download games to another drive with ease in 3 easy steps.

Sometimes deleting the ClientRegistry blob and having Steam rebuild its cache of games helps.
From the ClientRegistry.blob answer on Steam Support:
Windows XP/Vista/7
C:\Program Files\Steam(or the Steam directory that was specified during installation).ClientRegistry.bloband rename this file toClientRegistryOld.blobMac OS X
/Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/SteamClientRegistry.bloband rename this file toClientRegistryOld.blob
