edit: It seems to be working now. I think I needed to go verify my email first. If you are also a new Steam user trying to download portal, go check your inbox first.

edit: Great, I re-installed but it still lists Portal in my "library", and I don't see any way to re-download it or delete it or anything. This sucks.
Also, if you right-click on the game in your Library, and then select "Properties," there's a "Local Files" tab which lets you delete the local cache, and verify that everything's there. Hopefully one of those will make it realize the download didn't finish.
Update: Okay, somehow my download resumed from where it crashed last time. Not sure what I did; i think their servers are just really slow, and if you keep trying, at some point it will work. I think that what I did is go to "library", then went to Portal (my only game), and the "downloading" thing on the left ended up connecting after a long time. Then I could click on the downloading progress bar on the bottom and I can see the download speed. HOpefully it'll work this time.
