Episode 3 Download Issue: Disk Write Error
So, I'll get right to it.
I was downloading episode 3 of Tales from the Borderlands and it gets to around 65% and keeps stopping at the same point saying "disk write error".
I look in the Steam content_log.txt and I get the following line(s):
**[2015-06-23 20:04:26] Failed to write chunk in file "archives\Borderlands_pc_Borderlands103_txmesh.ttarch2", 1048576 bytes at offset 274726911 (Unknown)

[2015-06-23 20:04:26] AppID 330830 state changed : Update Required,Fully Installed,Files Missing,Update Started, (Disk write failure)**
I deleted this file specifically (Borderlands_pc_Borderlands103_txmesh.ttarch2) and the download continued fine as ever, everything else downloaded. I then checked file integrity of the game, and it tells me to redownload this same file, but it gives me the same error each time I try. This leads me to believe something with THIS file is causing the error, I mean...that makes the most sense, right?
Any specific ideas as to why this is happening? I remember I had an issue with episode 2 as well a while back with the same constantly freezing up and crashing. Perhaps Tales from the Borderlands doesn't want me to know what happens?! ;_;
Anyway, I do hope someone can get back to me as soon as possible,
Thanks!

If you are experiencing any issues downloading particular files through Steam, please first try disabling any anti-virus or internet firewall programs open and running that may interfere with the download completing successfully. Then restart Steam and allow the download to start again. If the issue continues, you can also try Verifying your Game Cache, or changing the Download Region in which you are receiving the game update from. (To do this, please click View on the top left of the Steam window, and click Settings from the drop down menu. Once the Settings window is open, click on the Downloads tab, and under the Download Region section, try switching to a different region using the drop down menu. Then close the Settings window, and restart Steam before attempting the update again.)
I've tried all of the above and it still fails to download this file. I'll keep having a look into it anyway!
Thanks!
EDIT: -
So, I changed the download region and although it made the download take A LOT longer, it seems to have downloaded the one file fine now! If anyone else has the issue I had, try what TelltaleMike said! It's most likely just me though!
Thank you for the help though! Much appreciated!
You're welcome, I hope you are now able to enjoy the game!
