    When I try to update Tf2 it stops at 60%. Any idea how to fix that? Before today it got up to 100% but didnt finish the downloading, it was at 100% for a long time, so I restarted. Now it only comes to 60% :-(

    Reinstalling is often the first thing to do....
    You can also try to clear the cache.

    I cant get it installed. When I have installed it, it crashes and I restart steam, then I have it but its syncing and it is only coming up to 60%!

    You will never lose your tf2 items.

    All your TF2 Items are stored on Valve's Servers, so you even can re-install the Game 1000 Times, you will still have your Items (unless you delete/trade them)
    Only thing you will lose by the reinstall is, downloaded maps, custom skins and sounds.

    Not sure if this post is dead yet, but i've had this problem before
    Go to Run on windows 7 - (or straight to the registry editor on vista)
    Find the valve folder, and delete it. This does not delete any games, or valve software from your computer.
    When done doing that, restart steam, and validate TF2.
    It should update after that :D
