Is this only happening when Steam is running in the background? If so, then close Steam and try again. | |

Any time I try and download a patch it tells me I'm behind a firewall and then downloads it anyway, albeit extremly slowly. | |

Make sure 6991-6999 are open (I'm pretty sure it's just TCP, but for giggles do TCP/UDP just in case) and forwarded to your machine otherwise you get immediately relegated to a practically gimped bandwidth | |
