Since 3 days steam is downloading the exact same game updates, (here Dota 2, AeO 2, GTA5, Steep) , same size. This kind of of loop happens regularly on this computer even on fresh system installs. I would like to download game updates only 1 time. #### Steps for reproducing this issue: 1. Open Steam, Updates games 2. play few hours, shutdown steam and the computer 3. next day, open steam I tried clear download cache, deleting the inside of /home/.steam/root/package , sometimes it works, sometime
