• Launch Steam and then click on the Steam option on the top left
• Now go to Settings  and then click on Download
• Now click on Clear Download Cache. This will clear up all your download cache. Many times the download would just get stuck because of that.
• You can also select the Steam Library Folders option and choose the download folder for steam. At times the links to this folder might get broken and cause downloads to get stuck. Select the folder and click on Repair Folder. This should repair broken links or create new ones.
• Now your download region could also be a problem. Maybe a lot of users are connected to steam from your region and the servers are heavy and loaded and could not function. Maybe it could be a technical difficulty. Changing the region could help you fix any such problems. You can scroll through the different regions after clicking on Download Region and select the best one for you. You might have to try it a few times.
