Sometimes, when I try to install a newly-released game demo on Steam, clicking the "Download Demo" button in the store page, from the built-in Steam browser, just does nothing – the only thing which is happening is the the mouse cursor momentarily changes from a link pointer to a regular arrow.
If I go to the store page from outside Steam and click the "download demo" button, it correctly prompts me to open Steam – but then it does nothing as well.
This has happened for me more than once, with more than one demo; but other demos download, install and run just fine. Can anyone provide a solution?
OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

It happened also to me more than one time, with just released demo. Usually I wait the next day and it works.
I imagine that the problem could be caused by the fact that demo files are not yet globally distributed through all Steam server network.
I never tried, I will do next time, but maybe changing the download region from Steam -> Settings -> Download and Cloud could help.
