So I am currently downloading Sonic Generations on Steam. I paused the download earlier and accidentally clicked out of Steam. So I got back on and I had to restart the process of downloading Sonic Generations. Then I thought that because earlier Sonic Generations was downloading and I might have interrupted the download, meaning the memory it took up is now gone and it'll have to take more memory now. I'm freaking out! Please help! When I pause/interrupt a download on Steam and then click out, and the download restarts, do I forever lose the memory the download was taking up or do I get it back now that the download was restarted? Please answer, I'm really stressed.

You can't "forever lose" hard drive space, which I'll assume you mean when you say memory. The download will just pick up where it left off.
But it didn't. It restarted. That's why I'm worried.

Steam will download it to the exact same folder, and overwrite whatever it already downloaded.
So the memory comes back since it restarted?

You have a basket. Steam is putting apples in it. You restart the download. Steam throws out the old apples and puts in the new, steamy ones.
I see. Thanks! I feel much better now.
