Disk Write Error with Steam

[Cleo9]

I juts decided to reinstall IL-2 1946 after a short hiatus and I keep on getting that Disk Write Error message at some random point during the download. Did everything I could think of to deal with this : I moved the installation of the game to another drive, emptied the download cache, verified file integrity, unchecked the "read-only"  box for the whole Steam file on my drive, etc... Downloading other games is fine (tried Black Ops 2,  Rainbow 6)... except Cliffs of Dover... Any idea ??

Solved my own problem... There was also a message saying each time : update required...So I had to reactivate the incomplete, paused download... It happened 10 times or so during the installation before I could complete it. Sometimes it would not work, the download would not restart so I had to try again... Never saw something like that before on Steam.
