(Insert Curse Word) Steam

You mean you didn't know about the miracles of "right-clicking"? Are you a Mac user?

Joking aside, if it auto-downloads, you can right-click the game in the Steam Library list and choose Pause Download and then Delete Local Content.

And does Steam offer that info at any time when you obtain the program for the first time?? thats the problem I had at the start when I loaded my first game on to it.
