Easy just close STEAM when you run CF Toolbox
 
It works well. I used it before and now I updated. I noticed the servers become more stubborn everyday... Took some time before I figured out why it was giving out "Download Error" when updating GCF/NCF's.

***For anyone who is having trouble, like me, with updating the GCF's/NCF's because of a "Download error" read this!***

You should first try to Validate the GCF's/NCF's by Right-Click >> Validate.
If the Validation failed, proceed to Right-Click >> Correct.
If the Validation didn't fail you may still try to Correct although I doubt you'll have what to correct.
After Correcting proceed to Right-Click >> Download >> Resume.
If you get an error when Correcting, then there are two options:
1-Try again.
2-Give up.
I should mention that I never got such an error, but anything's possible.

I hope this will help at least one person that has the same problem like me.

Edit: This does NOT solve all problems! I just noticed I still get trouble on some outdated GCF's/NCF's. I haven't figured out a solution for that yet so... Guess you'll have to use the patching solution. I will try to find out a way but until then...

I also got trouble with some GCFs too, and painfully they're also the largest files. I even got some of them at more than 90% completion after validating and correcting, and still download error. Patching solution is gonna take like more than 2GB to download everything all over again.
 
There is an app currently under development that is about 5x better and faster than this program. So your problems will be no more :)

yes that problem is caused because you dont own that game, this program will let you just see what files are outdated, if you need a GCf/NCf+ common use the search tool
